400 gallon first reef build super newb

[ReefMagicMan]

Time to order those saltwater mixing station containers and a high daily-output RO/DI unit... you've got a 400-gallon display tank and sump calling your name, my friend! Lol. ;)

So this comes with a bunch of equipment supposedly turnkey but I will need a mixing station I think he said he had a drum I'm not sure I have to custom build everything at my house to fit what I need
Where is that from the mixer you posted

Places like Plastic-Mart, Tank Depo, etc. The tanks are not as bad as the shipping-- which sometimes doubles the price. :(

I don't know much right now but a buddy of mine is gonna guide me through and see what we can do
Picking up the tank soon and pictures will be coming
Any constructive criticism is definitely appreciated and would love some friendly advice

Well I think I got what I wanted it's 400 gallons and it's a 72x 35 x 35
It will be set up as a peninsula style but the return will be in the center

[Turbo5150]

I’m just jealous of the Tangs he can keep that are too big for my tank
