Well as some of you know I have a 55g reef tank. I have planned an upgrade and due to some other things happening I pulled the trigger rather than put it off longer. Well I've started by just picking up a brand new 90 gallon reed ready tank and in time will be turning my 55g into the sump. My plan at this point is to get my bulkheads installed and plumb my drain and return in the overflow. I plan to have valves placed just bellow the tank on both drain and return. Once this plumbing is in place I plan to move everything over from the 55g aswell as some more rock and some new sand. Once the 55 is empty I will install some baffles and get the plumbing finished. The sump will include a refugium and I am also leaning towards an algae turf scrubber as I have only heard good things about them. I also plan to upgrade my skimmer for an in sump one. The other plan is to switch over to LED lights. I'm leaning towards taotronics dimmables but am open to opinions. Well that's it for now, you know the plan so we will see if it all happens as planned. Work will likely start in the next couple weeks as I am working out of town again. I've enclosed a pic of the tank.
