What’s up R2R,

I’m a newbie with a 125 gallon set up. It took me a couple of months to set up the RODI, sump, and tank but it finally all came together last week. I threw in 200g turbo start and 4 clowns to get the cycle going. Brown diatoms just started showing yesterday so hopefully nitrates will start growing soon to finish the cycle.

I’m looking forward to posting more and learning from this community.

Nice look!! Welcome! I remember when my sump looked that clean!!
 
Welcome. Like others have asked, the first thing that jumped at me was the missing light in the center. It's fine if you just want fish, but down the line everyone tries their hand at a coral or two (hundred) :cool:
