There are some updated pics.

This one shows the setup so far. I plan on painting the tank trim black and still have to clean the inside of the tank.

After a month of the sump setting in my living room I final finished it. I plan on adding a probe holder and a bracket for the reactor return.

From left to right .

-Drains and the filter socks. This is the first time I have used filter socks so I see how I like them.

- Equipment area- skimmer and heaters

- The middle front compartment is the refugium

- The back middle and right compartment will be rubble and if I need extra space I can remove one of the compartments.

- Front right is the return pump

Im still in the process of braking down my old 75 but i added some pics.

I so happy I got a taller stand then normal it makes it so much easier to work on the sump and something I learned from my last tank is that the easier reefing is the more I will be involved in it. I still need to trim the side wood panels because I forgot to take into account the house trim. Also I will either stain or paint the panels depending on what my wife wants to do with it. Planning on aqua scaping more tomorrow and putting up the lights this weekend.

Now that I know I can post pics fromt my phone I will add some more as I go along. Thanks for looking

How has the hydraulic cement held up this last year?

Some areas it is holding fine and others it's falling apart. I think u have to let it dry for 24 hrs prior to getting it wet. That wouldn't have worked for my liverock.
