About three months ago I decided to go from a 75 gallon tank to a setup that included a 40 breeder, 30 breeder, and a 30 breeder sump. I run a 36" Tek light fixture and a readyfit fixture also on the 30 breeder. Here are some pics from the build!!
First off is my old tank!

As you can see it was a cluster of corals and not very organized so decided to simplify a bit! Next is building the stand!

I know it was a disaster zone!! Trust me not always that messy I have a girlfriend so she keeps everything pretty clean :wink:
Now onto moving the stand in, boy was that a trick since it did not fit through the door way I had to take some of it apart and re-assemble it!

Here is a video of me and my family I am the one in the orange shorts for reference :angel: We are just assembling the bottom board so we can flip it over and put the tanks in!

Looks good! I'm a big fan of shallow tanks like breeders. How come you decided to split up your 75? Hows everything taking the switch?

Sorry I never responded here its actually a 40 breeder and then 2 30 breeders below it! And I split up the 75 gallon tank because it was too hard to focus on my small chalices! I like to be able to spot feed all my corals and to enjoy their beauty!
