Start of 65g build

[chowchow10]

Hey There,
Ive currently got a 20g tank and I upgraded the other day because my LFS gave me this new setup at cost. I am keeping the 20g up and running and will slowly move things over. Here are some pictures from today. My wife and I painted the stand and the back of my aquarium black. More to come.

Currently have standard 29g and thinking going for 65g. What's your plans?

I bought a current USA Orbit 36-48" LED light, Ive got 80 pounds of live sand, I plan on putting 60-70lbs of live rock in the tank, Eshopps PSK-100 Protein Skimmer and Eshopps WD-100CS Sump. This will be a mixed reef tank. I will be moving my 20 gallon stock into the new tank and adding some more fish and corals. the 20 gallon will become a frag tank/quarantine tank.

Currently have standard 29g and thinking going for 65g. What's your plans?

So after a week, my ammonia is 0, and I had a small increase in nitrates. I added 6 green chromis, a wellso and some palys.
