Thank you for the kind words of encouragement.
I plan to start off really simple this time keeping the system in FOWLR mode for the first year to create a solid foundation for the SPS to come. I just have alot questions still.

my fish room, sump, etc. are crude in comparison to yours.
IMO:
load the system up with pest eating Wrasses and start over with some SPS frags ASAP.

Wow this comes across just as inspirational as well.

current build thread:
Junior's Reef
wow- nice find!
As you've already discovered, I've been down and out a couple of times over the years. One thing that I've learned is that you can bounce back and the results are usually better. That's why this thread attracted my attention in the first place

You obviously have the know how and motivation to create an awesome setup and fish room. You can make it back. I would advise being careful to dip any new additions though and make sure to just introduce fresh cut frags with no bases etc....for AEFW eggs to survive. My pics/tank aren't near what Gary's is but here are a few pics of mine over the years to see longevity and what can be done even when setbacks present themselves (which always happens eventually with SPS tanks).
My old 90 gallon. This tank was up for 3 years or so and was upgraded form my original 75:
120 the day after I moved it from the old 90 in Nashville to the new tank in Knoxville:
120 after restarting from frags after loosing all of my acros while treating for AEFW's in the second year of it's existence:
Recovering well a little over a year after starting over with acros:
120 a few months before I tore it down to move back to Nashville, this tank was up for 4 years:
All my pics are over saturated due to not having a decent camera for tank pics but hopefully that gives you an idea
