Okay so 1 month ago I scored a 125 gallon long from craigslist. I'm going to need all the input I can get. This will be a slow build since I'm expecting my 2nd little one in november.... so on to what I have Besides the 125 long whcih came with a beat up stand, I have a used Red Sea triple pass skimmer, 2 submersible pumps which I believe are mag 9.5's and what looks like an Amiracle sump with bio balls. I've been thinking about building a larger sump myself, what do y'all think? Also I'm not familiar with Red Sea skimmers, should I upgrade? I know, I know a ton of questions but I want to build this right, and I don't mind taking my time to do so!
Finally I have on order from BRS a Tunze ato unit, a refractometer, and a 4 stage RO/di unit. Chime in everybody! What do y'all think of what I have so far? My ultimate aim is to have a full on reef, with as many types of corals as I can fit in. The corals are the true focus, the fish the highlight! Any and all help will be appreciated seeing as how this is my first saltwater tank! Sorry for the long story can't wait to hear from everyone!
