Finally starting a larger tank so I figured I would make a build thread. Heres some info on the stuff I have at the moment.
DSA 65g pro starphire tank and stand
Eshopps R-200 refugium
Bubble Magus Curve 5 Skimmer
Mag Drive 950 gph return
Marineland 250w heater
Kent phos-reactor
A 95gph pump for the reactor
And 2 Aquamana Full Spectrum 165w LED panels.
Getting an Mp40 wES and and Mp10 wES with my Christmas bonus.
So this being my first reef with "real" skimmer and a sump I have 2 questions
1. I don't want to use the skimmers built in drain on the collection cup. How should I go around plugging it?
2.I've never used a sump before. What do I do to go about starting it up? Such as how much water in the sump etc. Etc.
Here are some pics
I have to move my 45g chiclid tank before I can set it up so its all in my garage for now.
Also here is a link to the lights.

Their a present so I don't have them, but my grandmother got them and I stopped by and checked them to make sure everything was in order. My impression.
Built better than TaoTronics leds
Beautiful color and extremely powerfull
Quiet!
