Default 75 gallon dark reef upgrade

I currently have a 33 gallon tank. I bought a 75 gallon custom built tank and sump from concepts ! Then a few hours after paying it off got a call from work laying me off because I wanted to do a upgrading course. Thanks boss! Not.

Slowly I been getting threw life and with all this time off I might as well start my tank. I'm bored

My tank is home on my spare bedroom floor. Went to get my sump today and realized its not going to fit in my car. Add expense 12 case of beer for a friend to get my sump sometime this week !

Now to get some money together , well that's easy cleaned out my closet and got rid of all my old gear.

Time to build a stand and my DIY landscape
Hopefully pictures of something coming soon.

Upgrade:
75 gallon , 44"x24"x20, coast to coast overflow 2 holes with two hole return
Sump, 44"x24"x16" with built in ato,

Cheers

45 gallon fresh tank, my first tank into my new place.
containing 4 bala sharks , pleco , huge apple snail.
and i lost my two year old crayfish last week </3
so i think il sell it.



My 33 Gallon salt water with a 20 gallon sump.
this tank was said to be built by concepts. i bought it second hand.
but then again.. a 33 gallon tank with half inch think glass lol.
had a very hard time with this tank because of the overflow blocking my flow.


but finally got it set and happy time to upgrade!

this is not where its going although im thinking about putting it in the bedroom. but thats where my 33 is and thats loud enough.



very expensive cat tree
