Greetings from Cairns, Australia.

Hello,
My name is Mick, I have just set up a 35 gallon tank that I plan on having mostly soft corals and a couple fish in.
I am running a 20 gallon sump (approx)
I am fortunate enough here to get rock and water straight from Great Barrier Reef.
any tips for sump and filtration and anything in general would be greatly appreciated!
My lighting is very basic for now, but will be upgrading this:-)

Thanks! They get permits for it I guess.

I met some of your mates from Cairns, specifically Cairns Marine, at MACNA this past year and somehow ended up with a coffee mug - in fact, I used it this morning!

Welcome to R2R!! The fact that you were able to get rock directly form the Great Barrier Reef is amazing. Look forward to seeing the completed tank, and I recommend starting a build thread.
