Update on the 30L:
Going tomorrow to get a dual t5 fixture for it as well as 2 maxijets which I'll hook up to a wavemaker. These will be hooked to my return nozels on the back wall. Hoping to not have to have additional power heads as these should provide enough variable movement being in the wavemaker.

Boys anemone tank is all setup and rocking:
All the Rock was already cycling in my refugium that I've had setup for some time. Have an rw-8 that's making a 1" wave across the nuvo. Took all the rock and water from that tank and added it today with some bactiv 8. My light on my coral tank does so had to move 8 zoas over after setup, hoping they survive.
Little guy has been super stoked and can't wait for his first fish to be added.
Top of his list:
Coral fish, hungry fish, grape fish.

Added sand, fish, and some corals today:
Zoas: blue berry field, mbc car cars, bams, orange explosion, blue macaw, utter chaos, skittles, speckled fire and ice
Really like the aquascaping that is on the right side with the rock tower:
Purple fire fish has taken up residence in the big rock:

60 frag:
Ended up taking the whole tank apart today. Going to replumb with PVC tomorrow and have scrapped the 2x250 in favor of a 400w setup that I got from Allyson at mind blowing corals (thanks again!!!). Took out the 40b after moving all the water, rocks, and macrows to three 20g tanks and pulled out two of the baffles, didn't like how they were arranged. So pretty much a tank remodel after only being setup a week

20H update:
Got this tank over the weekend, had been in storage at my parents garage for 10 years. Did a water test on it and it's still holding water. Currently using it as a holding tank and once the 60 frag has its remake this will be going to the neighbor kid. Helping him setup a fresh water tank with it.

2x10 update: picking up the stand for this from my parents house this weekend and will be using this as a quarantine tank setup. Possibly going to be doing a glass holes setup with the two tanks plumbed together for future expansion as a display macro tank plumbed into my 60 frag setup but that too can wait until after baby is born.
Ha! Wife is on bed rest till September and cannot take care of our two boys so I have cut way back on my work schedule. The boys and I are working on projects together to stay busy, hence all the updates. They loved putting the tank together in their room and can't wait for the big office build to be done.
