Hi all, I'm new to saltwater but not to tanks, been doing fw for a few years including planted tanks with co2.
I have been getting together the tank & equipment since last year and this is what I came up with:
45gal tank, 29gal sump with refugium, LifeReef overflow, Mag7 pump, Coralife 96wx2 lights.
Fast forward to 1 week ago - I rescued 45 lbs of liverock from a friends tank that needed to get taken down.
Now I have a saltwater tank!!!!
Here's the setup and pics from last weekend

Starting to fill-er up!
