Hey MFK!
Its been a long while since I have been an active member on this forum. I had kids and took a break from keeping fish, but I was just given a free 225 gallon tank! AAAaaaahhhh YEAH!
A friend of mine just wanted to get rid of it. He had it set up for Marine and it includes a really nice protein skimmer, but I'm going fresh for sure.
Here is a pic.

It has a 30 gallon sump tank. I got it all set up a few days ago, cleaned it up a little and filled to test it today. Everything, pump included works well.
The tank is going to be kept in my detached shop for now.
I'm pretty sure I am going to do a native tank, but I wanted to hear some of your thoughts on how I should stock this bad boy.
I am pretty excited to get a tank like this. My previous largest tank was 150 gallons.
