I'm so bad at getting around to doing things. I probably should have started this thread before I did my upgrade not 5 weeks later.
I had a 20R with a CPR HOB refugium.
It was doing okay until I had a water issue and nearly crashed the tank. I was so frustrated that I kept waffling on just starting over.
So, I decided to upgrade. I live in an older mobile home and didn't want to take the chance of the floor giving out so I only went with a 30L, had it drilled for 2 3/4" returns and a 1" drain.
[This is where I would have put a pic of just the tank if I would have actually taken one]
The first thing I did was build a stand. 46" tall x 48" long x 16" wide.
I had a spot already picked out too
My original plan was to use my 20R (24x12x16) as a sump but realized it wouldn't be accessible in my stand. So, I picked up a 20L for a $20 bill, picked up some glass and made a sump.
