standard 30 gallon tank. Did not feel the need for a ton of fancy dividers in there. I will also be utilizing a deep sand bed (getting extra sand today) and chaeto in the refugium portion. The light to the sump runs opposite of my halides. Very pleased to be able to turn my skimmer back on and not fear an overflow.

Looks good!

I would put a sponge filter on that pump so that you don't return bubbles into the display because you only have one baffle and no bubble trap.
 
Very nice!
 
Nice, so are you gonna turn it into a refugium?

I am definitely doing that. However, at this point bubbles are not reaching the display from the skimmer.

DSB, Live rock, macroalgae and maybe a couple hermits or emerald crab and nassarius snails
 
Looking good man. Did you get rid of the Tropheus? What are the plans with that tank?

Thank you!
The 75 gallon tank? Planning salt or thinking about selling it. Yes, the tropheus did sell.
