210 upgrade...

[Dee12dee12]

I'm new to the forum and I thought I would post my 210 upgrade from a 55g. Today is actually the start of week 4 of the upgrade.

210 RR tank
ADHI sump/refugium 42x18x18
Nextreef reactor
2 koralia 8's (for now)
Aqua C EV 180 (I know but my stand was way too short for the 400 that I wanted)
JBJ ATO (16 gallon)
Spectra pure 5 stage RO/DI 180gpd

do you have to remove tank to put sump in stand? Is that a home made stand?

Yes....I put the sump in prior to putting tank on the stand. The stand isn't home made but I did sand and stain to make it the color I wanted.
