My tank set up if anyone is interested. What do you think?
A friend of mine broke his down and gave me the tank and stand

I have been investing since in some parts, and built a refugium


my new skimmer- MSX/SWC Extreme 160

new T5 lighting

my refugium light

The sump/refugium with my eheim 1260 return pump

and lastly, my new typhoon III extreme RO/DI

I also have 2 Hydor Koralia 4 power heads, not pictured.
Water is made, but I am waiting my shipment of live rock to come in this week.

cool, thanks for following, I will try not to drag it out to much, but I have been patient so far with getting things set up the right way. I have many tanks over the years and done so many things wrong that I am trying to actually learn from the past.

It came wet, and I did have water ready to go, I placed the rock and then added the water. Personally I think its easier for me to aquascape that way and not putting my arms and hands down in the water. Thats another reason I was pissed that when I ordered all my rock at once to set it up at once, the company I ordered from screwed up my order and only sent half the order.

I like doing that also. Man that sucks, its like you can aquascape but not really sense you don't have all of the rock.
