Hows it going? I'm new to R2R, never knew there was a better forum :cough:RC:cough: :cry:

Anyways, I new to R2R but not to the saltwater game. Just starting a new tank, I've been out of it for a good 6+ years. Few floods on the second floor made me shut the first one down. This build is going to be slightly bigger and a heck of a lot better! I got most of the set up from a good friend, basically his whole set up for a pretty good deal.

Few specs:
56 gallon Reef Savvy Tank
ATI T5 6x39w Powermodule Fixture
Trigger System Sump
Reef Octopus SUPER SRO 1000INT Skimmer
Eheim 1262 Return Pump
Bubble Magus BM-T01 Dosing Pump
NextReef MR1 Media Reactor (might not use due to size & fitment in sump)
Lots of sand and rocks!

I'm looking to get one of two Vortech pumps, a MP40wES and a MP10wES (if it will hold on 1/2" glass.) Tank is going to be mix, but more so towards the SPS side. Currently I am redoing the plumbing as the previous owner some what IMO rigged it but did a good job on it. I just want to "perfect" it in my mind. Once that is done, the tank will be filled up and ready to go! Woot!
 
Welcome to R2R great to have you!
 
Thanks! So the tank is wet now or rather the main tank. Still filtering more RO/DI water to mix for the sump. Spent the whole day working on the tank, feels great!
 
Pics soon?
 
Welcome to the forums!
 
Pics soon?

You got it! Excuse all the stuff around it, this was before cleaning up & was taken with my iPhone. Once everything is good to go and the tank starts to get stocked, I'll be my D700 to take better photos.

Sump photo was taken when it was still being worked on, as you can see there is no water. Few minor adjustments, might cut the poles down that are used to hang the lights. Still a lot more to come, need to get a controller and maybe another MP10 or MP40.
 
Welcome to R2R, love the nice clean looking setup.
