Have everything; need help setting up
 
Yes...yes...I hate to admit it but that now that I have all the equipment, I need help figuring out how to put it all together. Anyone up for helping me figure out how to set this gear up? Our powerheads and skimmer is on it's way, but everything is here(well we have 3 bulbs needing to be ordered on monday).

This is for a 75g reef.

The sump
The idiots we bought this from, had not only forgotten our stand in the huge order, but they had also missed the sump, so they gave us one slightly bigger at no cost.

So these are the parts we have. Also have a refractometer I picked up yesterday. Our RODI unit is also on the way. Waiting for out Koralia 4 powerheads to come in and the skimmer. Ordered in the states so should be here this week sometime. Now my problem lies with not knowing what to attach where with what, a matter of putting all the pieces together. Appreciate the help.

step one...plumb!!!! Figure out what you want to run for overflow etc and how you want your return(s) to be plumbed into the tank. there's lots of helpful reefers in Calgary who I'm sure could lend you a hand if you had any questions! Red Coral is a good place to start for plumbing needs/questions as well

Thank you so much :biggrin: definitely excited about setting this up.

That's right, with the help of a local, I heard about him and he's helping me with the lighting for the set up.

Do we have any iChatters in the house?

Shiny new stuff! As suggested, give Kevin at Red Coral a call, he'll sort ya out :)

I get my hair cut at Chatters, does that count?
