Default 90 Gallon SPS - restart after move

I recently moved from Vancouver Island to the mainland and had to shut down my 90 gallon corner bowfront which had been running for a couple of years. Here's what it looked like on its 1 year anniversary:



The coral and fish went to a really good home (Chaloupa (Sarah)) and I kept the CUC and live rock in rubbermaid containers for 3 months while the move was underway. I set up some space for a tank in the basement of my new house but opted to use a standard 4ft 90 gallon tank instead of the corner tank. Bought a 90 and stand from Aquatek (Scott) on here and got started with the set up in December.

The live rock lost a lot of its colour while it sat in the containers but otherwise came through nicely. The CUC survived amazingly well. Here's what the new 90 rectangle looks like in the first month:



I've got 3 hydor koralia's on the back glass tucked away in the rock work (2x850gph, 1x1050gph). The overflow return run's at about 500gph.

I situated the tank in front of a closet and ran the plumbing and electrical through the back wall into a utility room that is behind it. The sump set up in the backroom looks like this:



The tank sits through the wall to the left of the sump.

More to come when progress is made.
