New Reefer - RSM 500 Tank Up and Running

[mikezanga]

Hello All...I'm new to reefing...fist sw tank in 10 years...went with the RSM 500 series....my rsm 500 was delivered and setup Monday....overall impressions are terrific. Build quality and attention to detail by RS gets a plus! Only issue is the heat from the t5's...will need an led conversion or will need to get a chiller....can't post pics as I need to have 5 posts before I can add url's to a post(silly rule)....will post pics shortly....
Regards,
Mike

Day three, crappy 5 minute aquascape, but water is nice and clear, gotta fix the flow as my sand is a mess:

Sump and Skimmer Skimming away(for those with the 1800, does my foam and water level in the skimmer look right?):
