Awesome. Alway love a upgrade. In the middle of mine right now

A couple thoughts for you though.

You said no dry rock. While its your choice I like dry rock for the reason of no pest, hitch hikers. It's also cheaper. You can use some current live rock to seed it

Sump design. Really do your homework. I've built all my sumps and each time, find another thing I rather have .
I always have all chambers (2/3) to fill with crush for more bio filter. Have good flow through it
I do run a reactor but its full of hydroton but could have filled it with crush also
I run carbon passively in a media bag

Take this into consideration.
I run a prodibio tank. No gfo, passive carbon, 7 fish with 35 sps
My tank get gravel and rock cleaned weekly a WC to follow. Glass gets cleaned every week and half or so. So to speak I am 100% sold on prodibio

As for fish you said anthias. I keep them and in my experience and discution with others found that they do better in high flow

Looking forward to a build thread
