Woowoo! I've been waiting for this! Excited to see what you'll do with the new and old builds!
Thank you Stuart. Its going to be a huge challenge. I spent all day yesterday bracing new stand and didn't occur to me ill have to take a few braces off the back to get my sumps in stand before I place against the wall lol.
Which brings me to the sumps. Going to have to upgrade now because once its in thats it.

Didnt plan on it but going to have split and run the frag tanks independently right now.
Lfs just moved recently so they have a bunch of old display tanks laying around for cheap. All I will really have to do is clean them up and T off my ATO with another float.
Need to figure out what size sumps. They have to be in when I slide against wall. New stand pretty much takes up entire wall lol

How many gallons is your current reservoir? What are you evaporating a day? I think I sit at about 1.5-2g/day evap across 150 gal.

About 3-4 gallons a day. My current system is between 130-150. 88 gallons up top and whatever is in sumps. One holds close to 40.
Water temps pretty stable around 76-77 but wife keeps house hot cause she's always "freezing"
Getting ready to black out fish room window today just gotta get measurements and get er done after work.

I know I was thinking that. Could probably really use the help.
I think I have one side of current system gone. If so thats going to be huge.
Quick tear down, re set and get everything rolling.
Lfs is going to set up first tank plug and play with water test.
I've already leveled the stand.
Going to be crazy lol
