I am a relative newbie to saltwater and just thought I would post up some pics of my 125g reef setup after I added the 18 gallon refuguim,The refugium gets its water from 2 sources 1 from main tank via overflow box and the other from the main tank via wet/dry filter which is then pumped to my skimmer then into the refugium which in turn returns to a sump section I made inside the wet/dry Im looking for some expert advice on whether this set up is ok and to what my next additions should be
current lighting on display tank is is 1x2ft and 1x3ft white and blue combo flouresent lights that I have on a timer to simulate day/night The refugium tank has 2 50/50 compact flouros , Do I need to add halide lighting to the main tank????
I plan on ordering a wave maker this week should I go with one that uses 3 powerheads and a control box or add a rotating head to the 800gph power head I have in the tank at the moment? there is very little sediment present on any of the rocks at the moment
any comments appreciated
thanks

first upgradin your lights all depends on what you want to keep, right now with your lights you can only keep softies, mushrooms and zoos. so if you want to keep more then that like LPS, SPS, clams, and anemones then you will need to upgrade.
on your fuge i would suggest making both bulbs 10k or dual daylight, which is 10k 6700k because this will grow more algea in the fuge making less grow in the tank.
also how tall is your tank and what are the watts on the lighting units you have now
