Hey everyone, just an intro as well as just asking for general direction with my tank! The sump is plumbed, the tank is not drilled. My current build list is as follows, but not assembled yet basically (or not delivered)
- Marineland 75
- Stand
- SR Aquaristik Pro Sump 150 Kit (with skimmer and pump)
- Hydros x4 setup, ph/orp/temp
- Hydros wave maker v2
- 2x Kessil A360XE / Mounts
- Kessil Spectral Controller X
- Modular Marine 16" overflow (center rear mount)
- 1" drain plumbing
- 3/4 return plumbing up to the tank, 1/2 loc lines
- Sicce 300 heaters x2 (for now)
- All the red sea master test kits

Potentially adding a reactor, need rock, sand, and wave pumps... anything else im missing?! Seems like a short list but hasn't felt it on the pocket book! If you have any product, flow pattern/pump, or general recommendations or questions let me know! I could use people to bounce ideas and thoughts off of!

Welcome to R2R! Don't be a stranger, dive right in!

Your list looks really good! When it comes time for a testing upgrade Hanna makes really nice testers. Once you get pass the cycle you really only need Alk, nitrate, phosphate, calcium, and magnesium if you feel like it, some do, some dont. Hannas alk test is really convenient if your testing often as it takes all of 45 seconds.
Also, if your ever looking at skimmers, I love my reef octopus, especially after having a cheap budget one for awhile, the reef octopus is so much better and worth the money.
