I thought I'd say hi to everyone and tell you about my experience.
I've been keeping aquariums for 10 years now and spent the first 7 years doing freshwater tanks. Over the past 3 years, I've been converting my 75g to salt water. I made a stand and canopy with a 6 bulb t-5 icecap retrofit. I'm using a CPR CS102 overflow with two 1" bulk heads. One feeds the sump, and the other feeds a refugium. The sump has a reef octopus protein skimmer, titanium heater and return pump. The return pump feeds 3 lockline spouts. I also have 2 tunze powerheads for more water movement.
I spent three years in Japan, where I collected live rock from the ocean while I was collecting gear. I'm not sure how much rock I have. I cleaned and dried out the rock and packed it up when I moved back to the states. Now that I am somewhere where I shouldn't be moving for a long time, I want to gain some more experience beyond what books and forums can teach you.
This is my first saltwater aquarium, I'm filling the aquarium with ro/di water right now and mixing in the salt. Happy Reefing.
