things are about to get crazy

this build is gonna replace my 210 aga sps tank
it was a nice tank but 15 years old
I have heard of horror stories of tanks split at seams as they age so I decided to upgrade to a new custom miracles tank once I got the ok from the wife
If anyone is contemplating using Miracles in canada i would highly recommend them i called derek every few weeks with questions until the tank came in. It was super easy and he gave me a ton of suggestions.
tank just came in so planning on plumbing in the next 2-3 weeks
these are pics of my current tank
The tank is in the wall and replaced a small wet bar so plumbing was easy to access

last week had an algae bloom
tank got super cloudy
not sure why
i couldn’t see the back of the tank or most of the rocks
i added a uv sterilizer, some sand in glass jars in the sump
and in within a few days things cleared up
