Reefing newb
So its now official I have started building/ordering my 125g tank for my new place in August. I am going to be moving my 55g tank into the 125g.

I am just trying to figure out what size tank to us for my sump. I'll be putting a SWC 160 skimmer in it pumps and reforgium.

I'll be updating this thread as I do more with the set-up in the near future.
 
Sorry for the delay in updates been focused on moving and waiting for the supplies to come in.

So a quick update as of today:

LFS called and my Tank, Stand & lights are in and ready for pick-up.

Pump and plumming has been ordered.

Glass for sump compartments has been Figured out and will be ordered tomorrow afternoon.

I am planning to post pics of the items as them arrive at the house. (Official assembly start date: 16 Aug 2012)
 
Okay so I have received my light and pump. Tank and stand arrives Tuesday.

Here is my before pic of the old tank will post more as I open boxes.
