I appreciate the feedback. Fowlr = fish only with live rock. I'm still uncertain about the size of tank I'll be using for the sump. I still have to get under the stand and get some measurements, I'll make my decision then. I'm figuring that I'll go to home depot or something like that for...

So here's my basic idea for the sump. Ideas?

Tempered glass so drilling is out of the question. I'm planning on using hob overflow and i have a basic sketch of my idea for the sump. I'll post it when I get to work and you can tell me what you think.

Had it filled with water for the past few days and no leaks. So time to drain it and give it a good scrubbing (I hate this part lol)

Yeah I'm going it's going to be a fowlr tank. I would love to make it a reef tank but it's illegal where I'm at so fowlr it is

I haven't really thought of what fish I want yet but off the top of my head I'm thinking some clowns, dwarf angels, yellow tang something along those lines, along with a few inverts.

So it's been like 2-3 years since I got out of the hobby. Since I moved into my new place a little over a year and a half ago I've been planning on getting back into hobby in like another year or two but as fate would have it... one of my neighbors moved out and he gifted me his 120g tank and...

Reef octopus BH2000 is pretty solid. I think it's around your price range as well Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

So i have 2 occy clowns in my 55. Had them a little over a year. Now if I were to introduce a black and white clown would they attack him just the same? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

So i spilled some water taking out my skimmer collection cup. Didn't really pay attention until I put the cup back and got a little shock when my arm touched one of my Tao led fixtures. Should i even attempt to plug it back in? After it dries that is. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using...

Does anyone know what this is growing on my rock? It's brown in color. Rocks have been in this tank for about 2 years. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Well I'm no expert but I'll try and help as much as i can. A good tank to start with I'd say would be a 55. Generally speaking, the bigger the tank the more room you have for error which is why people say go big. Also the size of your tank dictates what type of fish you can and cannot have...

I agree with Todd on this one. MV would've definitely wiped out everybody. my tank went through a velvet outbreak about a year ago and wiped out all my fish in about 2 days. Very nasty stuff. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I added 2 chromis first in my tank followed by 2 clowns two weeks later and never had any issues with aggression and that was in a 30g Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

These cost a pretty penny but are really good from what I hear... http://www.neptunesystems.com/products/apex-controllers/

To answer your question though, I'd put the sand in first, then place a small saucer plate or something like it in the tank then add the water, pouring it on the saucer. This will help keep the sand from going everywhere

How much sand do you have now? Do you have the rocks already?
