Hello all,

It's been a while since I did some reefing and with the change in the world for business travel, it appears that I'll be home for a long time and can start again.

I have a Waterbox 130.4 being delivered next week along with a Trigger platinum 26 sump, and a bunch of other goodies. I still have a couple components I'm undecided on... but I have time as I'm in no rush.

Looking forward to contributing, asking questions, and meeting new friends!

Welcome!

I can imagine it now... staring at that giant empty glass box while you sit in yet another boring meeting.... LOL I'm guessing it'll be wet in no time.

Congrats on the new tank!

Thank you and if anyone wants to mentor me. :)
Current plan

Display Tank: Waterbox 130.5 & Stand
Sump: Trigger Platinum 26 (Since I'll be feeding my RO/DI from my basement, I don't need the ATO in the stock sump)
Skimmer: Nyos 160 (should this be a 120, since the sump has a 8" fleece roll?)
Return Pump: Neptune Cor-20
Powerheads: 2 AI Nero 5's, Neptune WSK WAV Starter Kit
Lights: 3 XR15 Pros (I'm uncertain on what I need here) Might go with the Kessils with the hope of Apex integration, future expansion with ReefBrite
Controllers: Inkbird 306A, Apex Controller System with Extra Energy Bar 832
Heaters: 2 Cobalt Aquatics Nero-therms 200W or Finnex THH-500S
Aquascape: Marco 100lbs reef saver, 30lbs Foundation, and 10lbs Shelf
Sand: Bare bottom
Neptune DOS & DDR Dosing System Package
Fuge Light: Tunze 8811 EcoChic Marine LED
Water Analyzer: Neptune Trident (maybe)
Plumbing: Custom with a manifold for reactor expansion

I'm building a mixing station with two 55 gallon containers, and will be using if for ATO and Automatic water changes, parts list in progress. Most likely another Neptune DOS and ATK V2 Auto Top Off Kit, and another Neptune Cor-20 to move water between the tanks and mixing. thinking a Cor-20 as that can be used to replace the main tank pump if there's a failure.

Rock is arriving tomorrow, so I can work on the scape and start cycling in tubs.
