My 60" x 20" tank

I ditched the 80 gallon 48 x 24" Deep Blue tank and got a bigger 150 gallon 60 x 20" tank. The Deep Blue tank was awesome, but I quickly ran out of room for my SPS corals. My fishes are loving the extra room to swim. I'm pretty much using all the same equipment for the new tank: SRO 3000, Eheim 1262 return pump, Eheim Jäger heater, Gyre 150 wavemaker, Fauna Marin doser, Reefkeeper controller. I'm using Herbie style drain.
I'm moving on from LEDs and going Radium 400 watt x 2 to light my tank. I couldn't be happier with the switch. My corals love the light. I got tired of the LED look.
I had 2 SPS colonies STN after the move few weeks ago, everything else looking good. I was expecting worse, because I moved everything (rocks, corals, fish) all in 1 day, so only 2 STN colony is great.
I transferred some of the sand from my other tank for my wrasses to sleep in. All fish did fine with the transfer.

**shoutout to [MENTION=512]markitekt[/MENTION] for building me a canopy to keep some of the metal halide light spillage.

Mines not that bad with the 250s

I figured I'd use 2x 400 watt with giant reflectors, instead of 3x 250 watt. Pretty much same energy used and I can hang the 400 watts higher up to minimize heat transfer.
