Great news! Even if we have to wait.
Are they gonna let you work it off?

I meant literally go to the store to work for the cost/part of the cost of the tank, lol. But now after rereading, it is a not so local lfs.
Looking forward to this redsea!
Cant wait to see this come together. I will be following along also.
So, long time no see! I OFFCIALLY have the tank ordered as of today and will come in on Friday. It likely own't be delivered for approximately one to two weeks, however. Basically, I had quite a few delays over the summer which prevented me from getting it sooner, but I am so ecstatic that it's coming now! I am currently in the process of looking for equipment, dry rock, etc. The main thing I am in search of now are protein skimmers. I found a Corallife one earlier, but the consensus is that it doesn't perform too well. Any suggestions guys? What brands are your favorite?
Thanks so much for following everyone, I greatly appreciate it!
Thanks everyone for your support and suggestions!
So here is the interesting thing I forgot to mention! I am actually going to be running this tank sumpless. I know it isn't always advisable, but since this is mainly going to be a fish-only setup, I think it will be okay. With that said, I was looking up all of everyone's suggestions and came across this one. Reef Octopus Classic 2000 Hang-on-the-Back Protein Skimmer - Skimmers, Reactors & Filtration - Bulk Reef Supply
It was one of few that I found that could be used in my size tank for "hang-on the back" purposes. BRS says they reccommend that you use it in tanks no larger than 100 gallons, however, the official website says about 132- 212 gallons if I remember correctly (you have to convert from liters). Seems like a big difference, not sure if someone made an error. I also checked Marine and Reef.com, and they said 130g-208g
Here are the links: Reef Octopus

Does this seem like a good choice for a skimmer? Unfortunately there are not many hang-ons for the 125g+ range. I was also wondering if maybe I should go with two smaller skimmers instead of two larger ones. Ideally, I would like only one skimmer, but I would be open to the possibility of two if it was necessary.
I will also be running a traditional HOB filter for items like carbon, purigen, etc.
