Good afternoon everyone,
My name is Trevor, I started H and A aquatics with my best friend Trent roughly in December of last year. We recently decided to take this small side business from a part time gig to a full time gig and made the choice that our location would best be used as a wholesale shop as there isn't a lot of foot traffic near us.\

I wanna document our build process we have going in our back room.

We will be using 9 Zoomed Low boys that we acquired for a good price.
Main system will be 4 Low boys, Connected to a 120 gallon sump under the stand.
Each tank has 2 1 Inch drains, that connects to a 2 inch main that drops down to the sump.
Return will be a single 3/4 return from a Ecotech L2 return pump.
Will have a skimmer under and no dosing.
4 G5 XR30 blues.
Reason we decided against dosing this is not a grow out system, we will be doing 40 gallon water changes biweekly and adding salt as products are sold.

Second system will be 3 Low boys, connected to a 150 gallon Rubbermaid Stock Tank.
Same set up but will be center drained on the bottom glass.
Returns will shoot up from the sides of the tanks.
System will only contain a skimmer.
3 G5 XR30 Blues

The 3rd system will be 2 Low Boys, connected to a smaller 40 gallon sump and will be our incoming tank, This is where corals will sit under observation after being dipped from transport. This system will be a cheaper set up with a cheap return pump and cheaper lights over it

I will include some pictures later in the day, We are about to finish plumbing the first system today and super excited for the leak down test.
