Excited to take the dive and convert my 125 African Cichlid tank to a mixed reef tank. Kept cichlids for about 10 years +/-. Will be using cannister filters Sunsun 304b x2 each rated @525 gph (I know, I know). I have Viparspectra 165w x3, 2100 gph wavemaker combo (probably add another before stocking) RODI unit, big jug of FritzZyme 9, refractometer, plenty of Aragonite sand from old tank and approx. 115 lbs. of KP Aquatics dry rocks. Will get a Brute for mixing. Working on my aquascape now.
Cannister filter tray setup suggestions appreciated as well as any other suggestions/advice.
Patience=Success

Here's my 2nd revision of aquascape. FYI will not use eggcrate in reeftank, just had left over from using with cichlids and serves as excellent footprint for scaping.
