Yes it is up and running. We are going to transfer it to my house this saturday. So of course I will be taking his water to get it running. Currently the tank has 50lbs of live rock in it. Also has a couple clown fish and some cleaning crew (Snails not sure what kind). also live sand and coral mixture. So I was thinking of picking up a light first to get some coral going while i work on my sump.

My suggestion is to make the transfer this weekend and get things set up and running smoothly. Then you can make an inventory of what exactly you have purchased. You can seek assistance here in determining the types of corals you are obtaining (if you need help with that) and what your goals are for the tank. An easy way to record all of that is by starting a build thread here. Give us some details on the system, including the equipment and of course pictures.

The reason I suggest this is to hopefully save you money in the long run. I'd hate to see you run out and buy a light right away without knowing exactly what you're dealing with. If the system currently has corals in it, and they are alive, the light that's coming with it is at least doing it's job to some degree.

Good luck with the move. I've posted a couple of threads below that you may want to read through if you get a chance before the move.
