So its been about 8 yrs since i last had a reef tank and i have decided to wet my hands again in this hobby. I have a 180 gall tank that i purchased( thanks acropoorer) and stored around 6 yrs ago with the intention of setting it up once we moved. Its taken this long to finally get to the point where i can start my build. I hope to eventually reach out to some of you for some help, since this hobby has changed so much since Ive been out, im not even sure how many of the old Maastards are still around. Ive got my tank filled to leak test and trying out my vortechs while its full to break them in. I just recieved my M1 return pump and will be testing out my sump this weekend ( thanks to Salty Fish for the sump build). I will be building a EZtube led rack once my tubing arrives for 3 LED units from Reef breeders. If anyone who i ever sold some of my old corals is still around and you still have some of them alive i would sure like to hit you up for some when Im ready! To be continued!!

Ok so i have the plumbing planned out and leak tested my sump and M1 pump. I will be building my LED rack this weekend. Should i hang the led front to back or left to right? I have 2 reef radiance and one reef breeders unit all 16" wih i believe 120 degree optics.
