hello there. I’m new to SoCaliReefs. Spend a lot of time in R2R but decided to come over here for a little more local feel. I’m in the SGV and am just getting back into the hobby after a 10+ year hiatus. Previously I had a 120 Gal FOWLR, downgraded too 55 Gal after my divorce and just ignored it for years till my Tomato clown died. Towards the end of last year I was planning to buy a big 180 Gal + system. Looked at Red Sea, Waterbox, Cade, Innovative Marine. Ended up getting a DT from a friend and an Advanced Acrylic sump with a bunch of other parts from another friend. So clearly the sump was not going to fit in the 36” stand. So down the rabbit hole I went. I ordered a custom 80/20 stand from FramingTech. I plan on upgrading to a 60x30x24 (190 Gal) in about a year
