My name is Mike and this is my first post. I have been keeping freshwater for 30 years. I am from Western PA. My wife has been begging me for a saltwater tank for at least 5 years. About 4 months ago I decided I would get her one for Christmas. So I started researching and reading the forums here and have learned a ton. So yesterday my wife's present came. It's a 120 gallon with 2 Hydra 52s.

Welcome to the addiction! Heard good things about those lights, good choice.
Let's get some more details! What's the rest of the equipment, you running a sump? Where's the rock!?
 
Yes I am running a sump about 30 gallon. Have 125 pounds of live rock coming Monday.
 
My wife just texted me and said the ATO alarm was going off and water is dripping from the main return hose. So already have my first problem lol.
