Default reef always in progress

I started my reef last easter in a 33g tank. my sister-in-law gave me the tank and light, it was a fw planted tank. I converted it to a reef since she gave me a ho t5 light with it. i have built it up quite nicely but of corse its to small. my mom bought a house and it had a ratty old 100g tank. recently i polished and resealed the tank to start my big reef. so far i have 80lbs of sand and alot of water. the tank is not drilled so i havent decided if im going hob stuff or syphon style into a sump. no pics as of yet because i dont have alot of time for that. once it is cycled i am going to move my 33g into it

You can do an angel tank with a sump too.
