Almost ready....I think

[RobertP1969]

I am brand new to this and just joined Reef 2 Reef last week. I have been reading everything I can
before I embark on this adventure. I guess I'll start by telling you guys what I have now and what I plan
on getting and hopefully with all your help I can start this off right
So far I have a Waterbox InfiniaReef 150.4,Sicce 7.0 return pump,(2) Eco-tech MP40 power heads,Neptune Apex A3,(3) Kessil A360's
5stage RO/DI,(2) 30 gal food grade drums for my saltwater mixing station. when I get closer to actually putting water in
this I will of course buy sand and rock and test kits but do I need much else to start? Thank you

Can’t wait to see the results. Do you have a heater?

Perfect.
I would consider rocks now and put them in a bucket with flow and bacteria to pre cycle them while you putting things together.

Heaters are on the list.So I could just buy rock and a couple brute trash cans and heaters and a couple
powerheads and bacteria and let them sit for a while?

They sell live rock at my LFS, and by live rock I think its just as Uncle 99 described above

Should I get some extra live rock rubble and stick in the refugium area of my sump?
