Yep! This tank has existed for around 10+ years, my dad took care of it and I took over after he lost interest in the hobby.
Lights: 2x ReefBreeders Photon 24-V2+
2x EcoTech VorTech MP40s and 1x MP60
Apex Classic

Here is a little shot of the back area, it is messy mostly because I just haven't found a good way to make it look better in terms of wiring and such without redoing everything.
But there is also a setup on the right of the picture which has a 160-gallon water storage where I make new water, then turn a valve and it basically flows into the sump.

there is the display portion of the hobby and the function portion of the hobby. i am sometimes more comfortable with the messy function aspect than with the polished display part.
