I saw the bad reviews, looking to get the BH-2000 Octopus

got about 80-90 pounds of sand, rock was about 30-40 pounds, I got one 406 canister running for now (I know its not enough for a 120 gallon, still deciding what else to get), not looking to get fish until its all up and running. Looking to also order the protein skimmer this week.
