Linka’s 150 gallon build

[LiLinka]

Hi my name on reef2reef name is linka. But my real name is Ian. I currently have 2 tanks. A 30 gallon nano AIO reef tank. And a 120 gallon fish only system. I’ve decided I’m going to convert the fish only tank into a reef tank. New tank same stand just 4 inches taller with a sump. I’m going to post about my aquascape, building sump adding coral etc, the plans for the new acrylic tank just went in for a quote so this thread will be slightly inactive for a few weeks. But I wanted to document eveything in the process. Hope you all enjoy. (Below are pictures of both tanks)

Here is fish only tank:

Hey guys quick update I’m currently working out the details for the tank. Final dimensions are 48x24x30 150 gallon display volume. I’m currently deciding on what type of overflow I want in the tank. I’m leaning towards center external overflow / ghost overflow, but am open to other peoples opinions on what they recommend. As well as picking a sump. In stand I have L: 43 H: 32 W: 22. Currently leaning towards a custom one. But if they have pre built ones that fit this please let me know. I also want to add a Red Sea fleece roller instead of socks. Will update soon with final plans. Have a good week everyone!
