70 gallon reef build!

[Jack Eskay]

Hi everyone,

I'm pretty new to the forums and decided to put my tank build up here! I am using a planet aquarium 70 gallon with a homemade stand(some of you may have seen this in the for sale forums). I would love if anyone could give me any recommendations for upgrades because I'm using all of the old stuff I had on my tank before this.
As of now I have the following:

Return pump: not sure exact model but it's -pretty old(still works fine)
-NAC 3.5 skimmer(would like to upgrade)
-2 older hydor pumps-no controller( want to upgrade from these)
-Kessil ap700(got for an price I could refuse)
-custom made sump
-10 gallon refugium
-*need refugium light*



Spent all my money on the kessil so these upgrades will me made in a month or two... but I would like to make the list of what to get now!

Keeping water low and powerheads and heater in the tank due to a plumbing piece. I plan to go to home depo later this week or this weekend to finish it all and fill it... such a process.
