Hi All-

I am currently in the planning/purchasing phase of my 65 gallon build.

Here is the list of equipment that I am thinking:

Tank- DSA rimless 65 gallon 36x20x20
Stand- DSA mahogney stained stand with under cabinet light mounted in it
Media reactor- nextreef mr1 using a sicce 1.5 using brs GFO hc and ROX carbon
Biopellet reactor- reef octopus br-70 using a sicce 1.5 with Warner marine pellets
Protein Skimmer - Bubble Magnus Nac 7
Return Pump - Sicce 3
Heater- dual ebo jäger 100 watt heaters
Dosing- two part brs using bubble Magnus dosing pump
ATO - either reefkeeper or JBJ
Filter Sock - 4"
Silent overflow stand pipe
Power Heads - two MP10s and two jbj 1400
Lights - Two AI Sol blue
Wetdry- custom built 18x18 with refug. Still trying to decide whether I want to run the refug part or not. Mainly was thinking yes because I want a mandarin

I have already purchased the sump and skimmer. Yesterday I ordered the tank and stand. The stand should be here this Friday and next week the tank should be here. I plan to cover the overflow with a custom made rock wall.

For the lights I've been reading a lot about the Aquailluminations and have been really impressed. I've seen a few of them in person also. I'm hoping that two will be enough on a 36x20x20 tank.

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
