Good morning all! It's been a long time coming but I am officially back in the hobby and actually putting the fish tank in the middle of my second location supplement store. The tank is being built as we speak. It will be a 180 gal 72/24/24 glass with a center overflow. I just wanted to start a thread to track my progress as I have with my entire build out. I have ordered majority of my supplies from pet mountain and will be posting a lot of pics as we go please feel free to ask questions or comment on anything I might be doing wrong. I am just going based off what I remember and what the local pet shop tells me.

Hey guys I don't know who this will reach but two things,...1) should I do refugium or just like a wet/dry sump,...I will start as a FOWLR then I MIGHT progress to corals. 2) my lfs is offering me a wet dry which is slightly used for $200 I don't think its a bad idea but I kind of want to build a refugium,...any advise or better yet anyone in LA willing to help with the build out?

If your thinking "maybe" corals, I would plan ahead and go refugium as well. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. It would cost you more in the long run to have to upgrade than to have it there in the first place.

Same with the lighting. Better to go with coral lighting and just dial it down for a FOWLR till you need it for coral. I use LED for my whole system. Even the sump/fuge.

But that's just me.
