Looks like a great re-start! I'll be tagging along for the ride.

yeah I ran into Anthony too and he helps me out a lot, and he close to my house . They said salt water tank is easy to upkeep once its running but I find that its not, beside the water change, salt have to get mix and dosing and testing for coral. Your sump is nice, it do multi things and save space as well.

Looks like a great start! You might learn to dislike the 30" depth though once you realize you have to use tongs to do anything. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished renovations though. It looks like a nice tank - Aqueon/AGA mega flow? I like the trim on it. Although I imagine you're going to cover up all the trim with your renovation...?

Fwiw, your tank is 72 x 24 x 30" (not the other way around). Length x width x height.

The sump with built in mixing station/ATO, with plumbed line and turn key drain were essential for me, which IMO make things EASY'r

thanks Myka for the correction, my bad, but actually I love the 30" depth for the rock scaping etc I wanted specifically this depth for the overall view when on the the stand its close to 6 ft tall to give you that TA DAH factor which I wanted in the dining room. Fortunately I'm 6"2" with arms like an ape so on my 3 step stool I can reach the sand bed which is pretty deep!

Saw this tank yesterday, looking awesome, Andrew! Take a pic of the majestic when he comes out

Here's the water line and drain in the garage:



and the drain coming out of the garage into the downspout outside, nice and clean :



Once the panel is back up the PVC is barely seen, as you can see there is about 1/4" showing in the downspout, with a bit more wrangling I'm sure I could hide that too.
