Hello everyone I previously left the forum because I went off to start up a 120 gallon build but that didn't turn out so great. One important lesson I learned was, bigger isn't always better. I didn't realize how much my electricity bill would be affected, the equipment cost is more for bigger equipment, the wear and tear of constantly using the RO unit etc so I pulled the plug and decided to downsize to a 50 and I gotta say I am loving this tank. So much pressure and stress was relieved and my attitude was more like "I got this" so here are some photos of my system, it's been up for a month already.

welcome back!!  I have a 16 gal and would LOVE something bigger.  I always thought how easy a huge tank must be, guess not always. 😊  Your tank looks great,  Are the corals from your original tank?
