Hey you all I FINALLY got the tank I've been wanting....140 gallon oceanic with 2 overflows. I plan on taking my time with this one so I don't mess it up. I have the tank, stand, canopy, and now I need to know what the next step should be! My questions are:
1. What size sump would be good for this tank?
2. I remember someone telling me I'll have to buy an overflow kit....that true?
3. I'm horrible at plumbimg...never attempted anything plumbing related in my life. Any good books out there in regards to reef tanks or is the equipment section on this board good enough?
4. Changing the canopy around.....I'm gonna wanna use MH lights due to the types of coral I plan on keeping. Any way to drill a couple of pendants into the canopy? Anyone have any other ideas??
Thanks for any info you all...let the journey begin!!!! :jumping:

For the sump, the bigger the better. If the tank came with 2 overflows built in then I doubt you'd need a kit. I'm not 100% on this so don't take my word for it. As for plumbing I'm as clueless as you:D I'd definately go with the MH lighting. I upgraded about 5-6 months ago and my tank has really come to life! Hopefully someone will come along and be able to answer your questions more completely, G/L with your tank :happyfish
