So what's been going on? Anything new or updates with your tank?

So I am sorry for the long time with no update but I've been battling with a few things these past couple of months and one of those things being AEFW unfortunately...I was not quarantining my corals (only dipping) and I was smacked upside the head and got the worst pest that wiped out my beloved ACROS!!! Anyways I've turned my 112 gallon fish quarantine into a full fledged reef tank to quarantine corals for a month or two before introducing them into my larger show tank!
I was using my old sump...a 100 gallon sump from my previous tank which was undersized and I've been designing a new sump at about 215 gallons...take a look and let me know what you think??

Glad to see you back. I like the sump design. What made you go that route?

That's for the support, I went with this sump design because I thought the first chamber on the left could be the area in the sump where the water is dropped off by three 2" drain pipes, then the water and bubbles would come over the top and go through the first set of 8" filter socks to remove micro bubbles. The next set of filter socks were placed as a drop off point for the skimmer which also produces tons of bubbles, then lastly the water would go through the last set of weirs to remove any remaining bubbles. My inspiration for this sump design was definitely through all of the amazing reefers on RC!

Losing all my Acros definetly a wake up call to quarantine my Acros in a separate tank...I would appreciate any methods you guys use to keep the risk to a minimum!
Advandced Aquatics is custom building the sump for me!

This is the exhaust fan I bought to pull air out of the tank area...
How is this fan working? I am designing an 800 gallon tank with about 1200 gallons in a closed room. I am going geothermal as well with full capsule insulation. I'm stressing big time about the humidity. Your tank looks GREAT!!!
