Have added another sump to house skimmer and return pump, this sits under the bigger tank at the back, will take out the trickle filter and add an algae scrubber then turn first compartment into a refugium.
Put tank in place at the end of the 1700 litre tank which is 1.2 metres wide.
Moved everything from the small tank over, pair of Mandarins and pair of Bangai. will add more live rock next
Then add another sump onto it
Any ammonia is too much for the fish do a 50% water change at least it will halve the ammonia.I would do a 25% water change every second day untill the ammonia is 0
Shouldn't have a fish in a tank with ammonia present
2 trickle towers, undecided on what to do with them yet
Took out front overflow and plugged hole
Added another durso to back overflow, rust proofed stand and added 4x2 timber base
Purchased this off Trade me

1.5 x 1 metre one houses Purple. Yellow. Sailfin. Naso and Clown Tangs with Rega plus Majesticl Angel, Foxface, Niger Trigger and pair of Maroon clowns
90cm is okay if you can get to the back of the tank by getting behind it or able to lean on the top of it, I have 3 tanks, 90cm, 1 metre and 1.2 metre but am abe to access the back of each thankfully to move rock. see behind it etc.
