Thanks bud! They are the DM-165p+ LED. I bought them off reef radiance website. Took nearly 8 weeks to get them. If you can get them elsewhere quicker more power to you! Lol but they are beautiful lights. Great value too

Someday I'm going get thoughts. Can't wait for you to get corals to see how they grow under those lights

Those lol

Sweet setup. Good luck with the build. When are you adding water?

Thank you! I'm hoping I'll be adding water this weekend. I'm waiting on my sump refugium and refugium light to be delivered on weds/thurs

So a lot of changes since my last post. I've received my trigger systems ruby 36 sump! Today I got everything set up and ready for water. I plumbed the tank and wired everything. I'll post the photos of my progress. Comments are always welcome! Enjoy

Hi! Great start, everything is very clean.
Do not stop, keep moving, with the same enthusiasm.
We will monitor the progress of the build.
When the system will try to water? And when you plan to do the stones?
Any updates are waiting.

Wow, great equipment, nice clean build. This is going to be a fantastic reef. Heck, it's already fantastic.

I added a piece of matching red acrylic to the open spot between the fuge and return sections to screen out the fuge light. IMO, it really helps keeping algae out of my skimmer throat.

Anything in mind that your thinking about putting fish or coral wise, rite of the bat?

Thanks Aleks I really appreciate your message. I've had a passion for this hobby ever since I was a kid! Of course it was fresh water back then lol. I will be adding the water and sand this weekend and rock in the refugium only. Then hopefully by month end I'll have the money to get the rock. I've ordered 80lbs of live pink Fiji sand and I'll be ordering 80lbs of Fiji live rock later on. Thanks for following my build!
