Which size plumping lines and valves should I buy for my 100G tank / Sump? Is the thicker the line the better? 1.5? I would like to get the best possible. Thanks!

When adding sand to a new tank.. do you add the sand first to teh tank.. then the saltwater? Or do you mix it first with saltwater.. then pour it in the tank? Will it get muddy? I ordered Oolitic Sand. :) thanks everyone

Thanks everyone for your help! You are right Marty.. I dotn want to start skimping. :) I went ahead and put myself on the list for my reefcreations. Will be a month till I get it. Now I have to play the waiting game.

Where can I find a good sump for my new 100G tank? I have tried myreefcreations.com (back order for a month) and lifereef.com (back order till June). Can someone please recommend a good sump. Thank you!

Thanks everyone for your replies. I figured that the heater costs $5 more than the others.. and its only one.. not several. What would be a good chiller for this size tank? Again, thanks for your replies.

My LFS is not assisting me. And would not like them too. I would rather go by people who actually OWN a saltwater tank and have experienced that type of equipment. Where would be a good place (and brand) to look online for a RO/DI unit? Thank you for your help!!

Thanks for your replies! Yes, it will be a reef tank. What is DSB? Good skimmer? I was looking at the Euro Reef's. Is that a pretty good brand? Where would I buy some good strong lighting. My friend spent $600 and said I should expect to pay the same. So I am trying to find the best...

Thanks Pmauro. I will look into building a room around the tank with insulaition/ventilation. Just wondering.. on your sheetrock edges.. did you add compund to it and then sand it down? Did you use any tape or mesh? Thats what I plan to do this weekend and clean it up. Just wondering whats...

Yes I am sure the heating and cooling of the garage will affect my tank. I will be buying a chiller and a heater soon. I live in Houston.. so its gets pretty hot down here. I was thinking about putting a room around it.. but it might get hotter down there when its all enclosed. We will see...

Oh.. I am not done yet with the design. This is Phase I. :)
