after a couple years of being out of the saltwater aquarium hobby i'm getting back into it. My wife bought me a custom made tank for my birthday and i decided to get back into it. Here is the tank and stand, both custom made. this picture was pre plumbing so its obviously missing the drains and return pipes.
So far for the hardware i've got:
D-D aquarium solution E200 powerroll filter
Reef octopus xp2000 protein skimmer
Maxspect mazarra p series 3 module led lighting system (enroute)
Electroniclly controlled pump
Ro/Di unit
Also i've got about 50lbs of baked uncured rock from a previous tank i had about 3 years ago and i'll be supplimenting that with additional live rock from my lfs.
Also enroute is arag alive fiji pink substrate.
The things i'm still undecided on is which power head system to get, I was thinking a tunze setup and also my lfs is recommending a uv sterilizer but when i originally planned the sump I was going to use miricle mud with a 24hr t5 and caulerpa. What are your thoughts on it, especially the uv and miracle mud parts.
