So I am finally moving on my first saltwater set up. I ended up getting a 90 gallon set up. I'll post progress here in hopes that I get some helpful criticism and tips on what to do and how to do it properly. I ended up picking up the tank Friday and starting to rebuild it. (crazy weekend... Go Broncos). Anyhow I took the fish and the corals and put them in a holding tank. I have the 90 filled up with fresh saltwater and the live rock without the corals on it. Where should I go next? I have about 30-40 gallons of the old water in the holding tank with the fish and coral. I need to do some aquascaping and get the rock where I want it. After that I was going to make the sand bed. I am going to use all fresh sand with about a cup of the old sand bed. After that settles I was going to put the corals and fish in. Am I on the right track? Also I was originally getting into this for fowlr to start but the purchase came with coral which is a new world to me. So any help possible with that is awesome too. I'll post a few pictures of where I am at now with it.
 
Here is the start
