Hey everyone. New to reefing and upgrading my 36 gal bow front to 90 gal with a sump. It is a bottom drilled glass tank. I want to do some work on it before I set up like resealing the edges with silicone and replace the overflow weir as it was partially damaged. Not going to lie, a little bit intimidated but here we are :face-in-clouds: once I finish repairing the stand, and the supplies arrive for the tank, I will start that adventure. Tank will be set with my current live rock (established only 8 months), some extra dry rock, special grade caribsea sand. I plan to have a euphyllia dominant mixed reef as I currently have in my 36 gal. I’m trying to take it step at a time but I will probably end up getting a hydros control, fleece roller, and skimmer.

Current equipment I have
Lights: 3 AI prime 16, 3 aquaSD
Flow: AI orbit 4, Nero 3, and two other off brand flow makers
Return pump: jecod pump (might upgrade too)

Happy reefing everyone!

Thank you! Here are some pre photos. I’ll post the stand when I finish painting it. Repaired the board on bottom that was damaged and getting a fresh coat of black paint and sealant.
