I been lurking on this fourm for awhile now to get some ideas for my tank. I finally got around to getting it together and running now. I am Noob and still learning as I go. I will try to get some updated pictures of the tank as my frags start to grow.

Tank- 180 gal acrylic with 40 gal sump.
Return pump- Danner model 12
Skimmer- Asm G-4 with sedra 5000 pump
Power head- 2 Jebao wp-40
Lighting- t5/metal halide combo


My BRS RO/DI mixing station in my garage:



Custom stand built by my dad:








Setting up the tank:




Got the rocks and sand in:







Some pictures of the fishes and corals:







 
Looks like you have a great start, keep it as stable as possible once you have everything dialed in (wish someone had told me that when I started) make changes in small step, and keep track (log book) of everything you add. Above all else POST MORE PIC's... lol

The tank has been up and running for 3 months already, the water is pretty stable. I been keeping a log also. I will try my best to update.
