Scotts's reef tank build

[scott3569]

Hello all, Well there will be alot of pictures for you here. 3 Weeks ago, went and got a 56gal tank 30 x 18 x 22. I had thought about getting into the hobby for a while now..and decided to jump in..I am on workers comp, so I have had plenty of time to do research and all, and in the short time I have learned a lot..

Sorry I don't know why they posted sideways

second set of pics

Here is the second set of pics including my diy overflow, dry rock mock up, and my rock in the tank it's self

I also have a 40gal tank I am going to use for a sump(I know overkill) but gives me room to expand, I also just received my skimmer which is a SCA-302
I will post more updates, as I go, hope you enjoy

Yes I have I am going with the current USA LED orbit marine, I am not going to be doing anything more than softies and LPS and that won't be for a while so..I am sure that light will be just fine for me..until I decide to upgrade my tank anyway
