Well,
I was going to set up my 33 gallon as a reef. I have decided to put this on hold for a little bit. I have the 33 gallon. I also have few other pieces, a 700 gallon overflow kit, a mag 7 pump, a reef octopus rated for 250 gallons(I know), and some other odds and ends. My new plan is to redo my 30 gallon freshwater tiger barb tank first. I will upgrade them to the 33 gallon with a smaller overflow kit and return pump. I will also get some much needed experience building a sump out of acrylic and drilling the glass on the 33 gallon. It will also be a heavily planted tank which will give me some experience in the lighting department, although not reef lighting I will still get to play with some. After this project which should take me the better part of a month or three then I can re asses my option and either set up the 125 as a reef or work on a different tank for a reef( I still like the look of a 33 gallon, and I know it is kinda small so maybe 125 first then 22 gallon). I hope I am still allowed to document the 33 gallon freshwater on here as I would love any advice possible on drilling the tank and creating the sump.
