So when we started this journey we had a 30 breeder with all HOB filter , next we upgraded to a 40 breeder with Eshopps HOB over flow and a open 10 g sump with filter sock holder, Today we are upgrading again to a 60 breeder, Eshopps prodigy L overflow and eshopps 100 sump. I have also upgraded from cheap amazon lights to two Red sea 90 leds and two red sea reefwave 25 , hopefully this will all make for a more stable system. I also hooked up a smart AWC system, next will be to clean it all up and make it look nice on the stand
 
Following along!
 
so the 60 is a little cloudy will update pic once it is clear, but everything got moved over, add a pic of the 40 breeder for referance of what it did look like , seems alot less crowded in the tank now and alot more room for the fish to swim around in, now just have to restock after a nuke from a sea hare, any ideas on fish to stock with.
Right now one clown, six line and blue velvet damsel

so here is in updated photo, added a few new coral, got a 10 head hammer from LFS for 50 and a few other coral as well, Got a two spot bristle and a new male clown for my female, after a week of trying finaly got the overflow dialed in and is now near dead silent went with Herbie because i could not get the bean animal to fit properly. over all think it was a good upgrade

I few closer up pics of some of the coral i have gotten so far, all but the ocotospawn is doing really well, nice thick flesh on the skeltons and nice polyp extesnion
 
I think for the first time I finaly gotten a Goni to be happy, my last three all died but this one is the first i have gotten to open up this much even though it is a small frag

Got the underside all cleaned up and controllers mounted and cleaned up . will add some more photos and a vid if i can figure it out
