Looking good like the rock layout and all the sand you left open. Cool speckled mushrooms

Almost a year running update!!! The Nems fill up some space. And the purple star polyps have taken over the right! Left side Has been restocked a couple of times due to a crash a couple months ago.

Still trying to fill it in. Thinking I need more rock and a new aquascape. Thoughts?

I'd add some more rock.

Fixed the leaks from the stand pipes. I have a lot more coralline! Upgrades lights from reef and sea LED with a reefbrite to two black box LED's and have had some great growth!

Hi tim. Do you still have this tank? Was just browsing the forums and saw your thread. Im setting up my 6th tank which is a 72 bowfront. I am also building a 20l sump lol. Interested in seeing how your sump is set up. Here is s pic of the stand i just finished.

Still running! The sump is decent. I wish I made the baffles higher for the refugium and return. I keep the water level a bit higher on the right side with an ATO.

I will post an undercarriage photo later today when I get home from work.

I think I would have over all made it 3 compartments rather than 4. The baffles higher and widened the drain side to accommodate more live rock. But over all still happy with the set up. I modified the return with the egg crate so I could raise the water level and not have the cuprela (sp) get sucked in to the return.
