I don't have a specific list.

I got the tank drilled, the plumbing & sump done, and the tank filled. I used 15 gallons from my 150 and 15 gallons of fresh blue bucket salt. I've gotta say, I'm pretty happy with how this is turning out!

The water is cloudy, but it's brand new so I'll let it cook for a few months.

Updated picture; the water cleared up nicely.

Are you running a fuge in your sump once you add life? Seeding with anything live(rock, sand)? As other have said, love the scape.

See that little bin in the sump in one of the pictures? That's rubble from my 150 that came from AquaBiomics, I'm also going to add some rock from my 150.

Thanks for the kind words on the scape, Check out @chandlerrocks Aquascaping , that's his creation.

Thank you for the kind words. I've put in two rocks from my established 150. One in each back corner.

No, at least 15 years old. I could have probably replaced them all if not for this obsession we share.

Tank went through an ugly phase which it's coming out of. Added a few corals.
