You may want to reconsider the Rio pump. I've never used one, but many people have had bad experiences with them. Just my opinion though.
+1 - Not a fan of Rio pumps. I really like the Pond Masters for return pumps. I just upgraded to something, else, I'll have to ask my husband what it was, but the price was right and it works excellent.
The CPR overflow box is excellent, I'm very, very happy with mine. I have the entire EShoppes set up, but upgraded to the CPR overflow.

Well, My Light Fixture Arrived today it was here when I got home. HOLY HUGE. It is a big light Fixture, I will take a Pic of it later and post it. I did not realize that it was going to be this big, but its a nice Fixture, I think I am going to be happy with it and I do plan on changing the Bulbs out later To API's. YAY I am so happy its here.

Yeah thats what I meant.. Yeah either going with the ATIs or Wavepoints. I am just happy that I have the lights now.. I cant wait to get the tank set up and running even if it is just to Cycle it. Just cant get everything I need all at once, I wish I had the money to do that. I have to buy stuff when I can.. So it will be a little at a time.. Just seeing 3 tanks 55 Gal DT, 29 Gal QT and 20 gal long Sump sitting empty is like omg I want them up and running.. LOL but as they say good things come to those who wait... lOL

YOU KNOW.....to start your cycle...all you need is sand, rock, salt water, and a filter....You really don;t need lights, skimmers....etc....
think about that
cause the initial cycle will take 4 (minimum) to 8 weeks

Thanks Meowzer, Yes I am a patient person and I look at it everyday and say I want to get it up and running.. It will happen soon enough tho... I am also thinking about in stead of setting up the 55 gal, i might get a 75 gal instead lol. Those lights there are 432 watts of pure power lol Ha ha
