There's a lot. I got the stand and tank and I'm being told everything is there to set up. I bought a tank for underneath (55g). I have the old live sand still in the tank. An RO system. Power heads pumps skimmer a huge fluorescent light with leds. Heaters. I have been trying to find a system that looks close to what I have but no luck so I just am kinda of lost at this moment.

This is set up in my office at work. I will try and get some specifics tomorrow on what everything is. Thanks so much for the assistance. This tank has been in my floor at work for a year almost and I am sick of it not being set up. Ready to dig in and get it going.

Welcome !! It is crazy exciting setting up a new tank, especially a large one! I also have a 125. Just make sure to take your time and plan out what you'd like to display in the tank and watch grow. And remember try not to let it stress you out and just have fun! :) If you take a look at that set up guide Kschweer posted it will give you a lot of info on utilizing on the equipment you already have. Good luck!

*Welcome to Reef2Reef,Terry!* I am sure you will find all the information you need right here at R2R.The hardest part will probably be finding the right return pump for your system.Hopefully your tank is drilled? Set-up can be tricky,so if you read something specific that you don't understand,please ask away.Best of luck with your new aquarium!
