OK here goes, my first build thread. Please be critical and lemme know what you would do to make it better. Here are a few pics, 1 week in. Equipment is still modest, as I have only added an Icecap Gyre 2K so far.

This is an Aquatop AOI. 32 lbs of rock and 40 lbs of sand. I left a little room in case I find a good looking hunk of live rock somewhere. I can tell right now this skimmer isn't gonna cut it, and the lights will have to be upgraded. Looking to add a HOB fuge as well.

Well this is is so far. My first attempt at a reef in 8 years.
