Hi Eveyone,

I am attempting my first salt water thank build, for the 3rd time. Last 2 tries failed due to unexpected moves. Hopefully 3rd time is the charm. Here's a list of all the Equipment I'll be running

Tank: Oceanic 45 Gallon High - 24 x 18 x 24
Sump: Custom King Sump - 22 x 13 x 16 (Filter sock, Skimmer, Fuge, Return chambers and a build in ATO)
Lights: Acan 600-24B
Skimmer: Reef Octopus 110SSS
Return Pump: Sicce 3.0
Powerheads: 2 x Jebao PP8
Controller: GHL Profilux 3.1ex
Heater: 2 x 125w Eheim Jager
Reactors: Vertex 1.5L RX-U, Skimz CM113 (hoping this will fit)

Will need to plumb the tank and do a vinegar bath, hope to get this thing filled by the end of the month. Any advice will be helpful. Thanks in advance.
