215 Total Gallon upgrade

[haze152]

I recently up graded my 75 gallon tank to a 125 reef ready display with 90 gallon sump. My original play Was to build everything brand new however I found an amazing Deal on a local reef forum I could not refuse
Total cost
Tank stand canopy sump and skimmer Brs dual reactor 2 little Fishy kalk reactor with pump 800.00
apex controller to replace the one dropped in water during build 235
New Metal Halide light fixture 200.00

So at this point I have 1235 in to the new system But wait.
sold the BRS reactor already had one +75
sold kalk reactor +50
sold some live rock from the old setup +100
Trade some live rock to LFS for 300 store credit +300
selling old setup for 400
Total upgrade roughly 200 Dollars after selling items I don't Need.

Upgrade is done for the most part a few odds and end still.

Here are some pictures of the new setup let me know what you think.

Total water volume is 215 gallons

I Am already loving the 6 foot tank.

to me, when you hit the longer tanks like this at 6 foot or longer, the hobby elevates to the next level...

coral options and amounts, and fish options and amount increase and it makes the joy of the build that much more exciting...

you should post up an equipment list. ex: pumps, return pump, lights, skimmer etc etc...
