I’ve had my 265g (Covid shutdown/divorce project for about 5 years now I moved and brought it with me. Definitely some learning experiences though that. I have made so many mistakes. I’ve never quarantined anything. And now I have learned a valuable lesson in this. And flatworms have taken over. With my sump being under my tank it makes things difficult to access. And to pull anything out is a nightmare. undoing the cords and putting them all back. So now it’s time to move my tank. Create a quarantine tank easily accessible wires, lights pumps. And yes I am starting over. I have some local reefers willing to babysit fish and certain corals. All the others I’m giving away. They know what they have to do before they go in their tanks.

Each bay of my sump will have flush valves. So I can keep my sump very clean. I will have a designated pump for extra circulation in the sump.
The sump will not be under the tank. And it will be elevated. The lights outlets will be right above them. I’d love feedback, ideas or suggestions
I will keep posting progress pictures

Sorry I just seen this. I got it from our ranch store. Murdoch’s. Food grade plastic that I guess ranchers use for putting a water Scource in trailers and stalls. 48 gallons per tank. I’ve got Neptune liquid level sensors for both
