Also how soon are you looking to building your sump? I might be able to give you my 75 for a sump but thatll be in about a month when i do my transfer to a 90.. The middle brace is broken but its still has the rim.. Its Held well for a year which is why i needed to do the 90 swap but havent gotten to it due to confusion on what to do.. Plan on moving and was leery on doing the 120 after i bought it..

Ha ha thank you. My priorities are in that order... most of the time. Lol. The rock is a mix of Bulk reef supply reef saver rock, and some formerly live rock that I got for a good deal from another member here on MR. As for lighting I'm definitely going with Leds. Im looking at Acan lighting's 300 series lights. Also reefbreeders make some nice units. Still not 100% sure yet. Hope to have it cycling sometime before thanksgiving. But we'll see. I actually ended up going with a 75g sump and using my 33g as a refugium.

Damn u know i just reread that smh.. I saw that earlier and it left my mind... Lol how long is that tank? Lighting that tank is going to be something serious

Its 72" long bout 30" tall. Yeah lighting is a *****! My plan is to purchase light fixtures slowly. The main area that I plan to focus lighting is about 36" ditectly over most of the rock work where I plan to keep sps. Outside of that area im not too concerned with intense lighting.

Had the day off today. Decided to add an algea turf scrubber coming off my refugium. The refugium is plumbed off the return manifold and the drains back into the sump. So I installed the scrubber to the refugium drain.

nice!! like how you have that turf scrubber set up.. and as far as the lights go i think that might look good.. it'll give lower light around for frags that don't require that much light for the mean time maybe a real nice polyp garden :)? i love polyps there like a garden of multicolored flowers.. lol are you doing a canopy?
