I picked up a new tank today from @Themaddhatter (thanks for the great deal) and a special thanks to @Tiredguy for helping me move it!

It's a 6 foot long 135 gallon with 2 overflows. As some of you know my 90 gallon I have now dosent have a sump and that's the main reason I wanted to upgrade. This one has I believe a 65 gallon sump (maybe 70). Also has a euro reef RS180 skimmer which I have read a lot of good reviews on. The return pump I forget what it is but I hadn't herd of the brand before.
The stand isn't finished so I'll have to do that first then I'll need to inlist some help from TFT for the plumbing which I have never done before and have a little bit of idea but I don't want to empty the tank on the floor.

I took some pics but keep getting a error saying file too big so I'll try again later.

I can't wait til you get it up and running! I hope you're planning on keeping high end sps corals and they grow like wildfire in that new tank.

Have fun with the tank. You can use others' ideas, but make them your own!!
Congrats on the tank
