Ok, I've been getting equipment for a while and im almost ready to put this thing together. Just need to finish the stand and plumb it.... im so excited!
Here is my current list of equipment:

3x Kessil A360WE's

1x 48 inch AqauticLife T5 hybrid 4x54w bulbs which are 2x blue plus and 2x purple plus. I also have 2x true actinic so I can mess with the color to get it how I want.

2x aquatic life mounting arms to hang the light from

1x tunze osmolater 3155 ATO

1x hydor seltzer D controllable dc pump up to 3200 gph (I figure I need about half that max) but it will go in the 250 someday...

1x custom 40B sump

1x 50 gal deep blue rimless display with corner overflow

2x American DJ 8 channel power strip with built in circuit breakers and on off switches for each outlet

2x all weather hyper tough timers for the T5 banks

1x custom stand...
