I recently up graded my 75 gallon tank to a 125 reef ready display with 90 gallon sump. My original play Was to build everything brand new however I found an amazing Deal on a local reef forum I could not refuse
Total cost
Tank stand canopy sump and skimmer Brs dual reactor 2 little Fishy kalk reactor with pump 800.00
apex controller to replace the one dropped in water during build 235
New Metal Halide light fixture 200.00
So at this point I have 1235 in to the new system But wait.
sold the BRS reactor already had one +75
sold kalk reactor +50
sold some live rock from the old setup +100
Trade some live rock to LFS for 300 store credit +300
selling old setup for 400
Total upgrade roughly 200 Dollars after selling items I don't Need.
Upgrade is done for the most part a few odds and end still.
Here are some pictures of the new setup let me know what you think.
Total water volume is 215 gallons
