HI,
I am new here.

I am in the process of coverting my fish only tank to a reef tank. (I hope)
trying to do this on some what of a budget so well see what happens. I'm sure I have lots of learning to do. So any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

the tank I believe is 120 gallons
I'm guessing at least 40 gal sump
Diablo skimmer
two little fishy reactor for carbon
three cheap Chinese LED lights (full spectrum)
Jebao wave maker
Bashee bio pellet reactor

so far that's it

I have a 40 gallon frag tank running similar setup as well.



its an acrylic tank and was full of scratches. Once all the fish were sold my first step was to obviously empty the tank out and start the sanding.

YA THAT WAS LONG DAY! got it done and so far so good. got the plumbing taken care and ready for water.

Was on the lower right hand corner, blue? Did it look like this, if you remember? If so, what do you think of the aquarium?

ya it was on the lower right and it was a blue logo.
so far so good with the tank.

Super anxious to start stocking it.

once I get the alkalinity issue corrected I can start adding some SPS.
