Great looking system! If you can only swing one forum, this is the place to be! If you have time for a second, seek out your local forum. Looking forward to watching the tank progress!

I worked on the tank today for awhile. I am in serious need of wire management, but I want to get all the equipment in first, so it can be a one time project (yeah right). I also added my Reef Keeper Lite from my last tank. Next I will be adding a dosing setup. Here are some updated pictures.

Here is another update on my Red Sea Reefer 250. 65 gallons total water volume
(2) Aqua Illumination Prime HD lights
(40) CaribSea Special Grade sand- In the past I have used the smaller sand, but it always blows around. This larger sand has not done that at all yet.
(50) Worldwide Imports Atlantic Coral Rock - I bought 80-lbs, but am guessing I have put in about 50-lbs. I have extra to add if needed.
(2) Tunze Turbelle Nanostream 6025 (740 GPH) powerheads - I have these on an A/B cycle, so the tank is only getting 1 at a time
(1) Reef Octopus Varios-6 DC pump (1720 GPH) - I have this on 3 of 5 for flow right now, but I intent to run a carbon reactor in the future, so I have the power to do so.
(1) Reef Octopus Classic 110S skimmer
(1) Reefkeeper Lite w/2 power bars - I have used this on 2 previous tanks without any problems. If this ever fails I will upgrade to the Neptune.
(1) Kessil a150 Ocean Blue - I had this left over from a nano, so I am using it for my refugium
I have some probes and other equipment not worth mentioning. I am going to try to follow the BRS/WWC System and have been watching that series develop. I have had mixed reefs in the past, but after seeing that they are the most difficult through that series I am going to opt for a Soft/Polyp/LPS tank. This should be on the easier side and although this is my third tank I am just not ready to go SPS dominant yet, because I like the hammers, frogspawn, pulsing xenia, acans and blastos too much.
