Hello all. I'm in the process of setting up a new tank. This will be technically my 3rd tank. I have had a 90g mixed reef, a Nuvo 30g Nano and now I'm in the process of setting up a 135g w/ 55g custom sump. It got wet this past Saturday and i was started with about 200lbs of dry rock and 80lbs of dry sand. I dropped 2 raw shrimp in pantyhose in Monday morning.

Plans for the tank are:
SPS Dominate semi-mixed reef
Lights are going to be (2) Reefbreeders Photon 32's w/ (4) 60"x54w T5HOs supplement, haven't picked the bulbs yet.. taking recommendations
Eshoppes S-150 skimmer - I had this on my old 90g. I'm going to try it out and see how it goes, may need to upgrade later
(2) Jeabo RW-15's
Mag 18 return pump
BRS Dual Reactor - Running Carbon and GFO
AutoAqua ATO

Probably will be adding either an Apex or Reefkeeper sometime next month.
 
Here are some pictures
