Dual overflows- Gotta love 'em!

Good choice on bulbs. XM's are nice, i need to get some new bulbs and im going back to XM's.

Concerns on the fish selection, 2 madarins and the wrasse, might end up just destroying your pod population. Just something to possibly consider.

Flow i would probably go with 2 k evolution 1400's and 1 1050. Think that would be plenty.

I would ditch the crush coral subtstrate, go with something finer.

And if you can, try to get a bigger sump, bigger is better.

add the sargassum last if u do get one

Jealous. Those dimensions are dreamy.

I have to agree with EMU on the crushed coral substrate.

I'm looking forward to watching this come together.

Lookin good demon and dont worry crushed coral is great substrate if you like substrate.
