Hello all. Somewhat new to the reefing world. My significant other has previously had salt water, and some coral. I on the other hand, have kept gold fish and catfish I caught in the creek. So... this is a yuuuge learning curve for me.

So now.. we just set up a tank and sump setup that was previously used, but has been sitting dry for at least 4 years. We've reused every piece that came with the setup, 200 gal dial overflow tank, plumbing, Eshopps R-200 sump, and return pump. I'm here for advice/ help/ suggestions for the plumbing/ return/ sump, as I've never had anything like this before. Don't want to overload this first thread, so, I'll go start reading what I can find, but hello to all!

Welcome, and watch brs 52 weeks of reefing for some great information. Just remember brs is a retailer and gonna push the stuff they sell, but all points in reefing can be done much much cheaper!
I've seen a few episodes, and follow as best as possible. My plumbing/ overflow setup is my concern, as it's not like any other I've seen. It's a dual Durso.
