redsea's 125g Reef Build

Hi all, I figured I would make a build thread for my new 125g tank on this forum. I almost have all of my equipment, and I will be ordering the rest of the equipment hopefully by the end of the weekend. :) This tank will be a reef tank with fish. Here are some pictures. Enjoy!

Thank you! I have a HOB overflow, and Eshopps In-Sump Skimmper, 2 Heaters, and AquaticLife 8 Lamp lights, I think that is it so far. I will be ordering Koralias and an Eshopps refugium hopefully by the end of the weekend.

Stock list?

Equipment list? What do you have and what are you looking to get?

What type of reef tank are you going to build? softie? LPS? SPS?

Yep, I will be using an external overflow with a sump. I currently have my skimmer, HOB overflow, heaters, and lights. By the end of the weekend I hope to order my sump and powerheads. 

I am not entirely sure what fish I am going to get. I know for sure that I will be moving over my  Blue Hippo Tang and Clownfish. I would also really like a Yelllow and Scopas Tang eventually. I also really like Wrasses. Any fish suggestions are welcome!

For what kind of reef, I think I want a mixed reef tank, but I don't want any corals that are difficult to care for. Coral suggestions are welcome too!

Thanks for viewing my thread!

Thank you for following!

Today I ordered my sump and my two powerheads. Now I just need to get some plumbing stuff and I will be ready to go!
