Hello this is my 3 year old Reef. I’ve recently changed it up a little and thought I would post it for everyone.

About the system setup:
The stand is home-made from stone, cut to size and bolted to a steel stand that I removed two legs and shortened with an angle grinder.
The sump is 120L litres.
Running a carbon reactor and GFO reactor both home-made with pumps and bottles.
I drilled the waterbox twice behind the baffle, one as the main drain and one emergency and it’s surprisingly perfect.
Running an XR30 G6 Blue
MP10 stream pump
6 stage 400GPD RODI filter
Aqua Forest salt
Red Sea mesh lid
Tunze Skimmer 9001
Reef Factory Level Keeper
Reef Factory Dosing Pump X4
Filtration is a mix between reusable filter socks and filter floss depending on what’s clean or on hand.

I would love to hear your thoughts or any additions I could make, upgrades etc.
the tank is just over 3 years old now and I would like to do more.

The legs are solid steel, probably about 3mm thick and hollow, it was already painted. It can rust but it’s pretty dense material and I am pretty confident I could sand it and touch it up when I need to.
It feels pretty sturdy but the legs can be independently turned 360 degrees so it’s kind of tedious positioning the legs if I were to move it to another spot in the house.
