Well, here is an abbreviated version of my combined original build threads. After downsizing to a single 50g 'Softy Tank' for 10+ years while running my business (60-90hr/week) I started the transition of going back to a larger SPS dominate system again. My lil 50g came apart litterally during a heatwave which I was not present. Temporary upgrade by purchasing a 75g off CL and the start of adding to the Stony Coral collection. A year later purchased a used 125g with unusual dimensions 60"x24"x20" and started a year long process of getting it wet.
Just after receiving it along with a beat up 75g to use as sump/fuge
Cleaned and polished it up, removed the old Closed-Loop and patched holes
Onto modifying the 75g into a usuable Fuge/sump of my design by first cutting it down 3"
Glueing top back on and modifying access holes
Then by redoing bulkheads and fabricating some needed parts for plumbing drains and a filter sock
For my return section off large refugium a screened off cryptic zone for Sponges and Tunicates
To be continued. Cheers, Todd
