Default Budget 120G build
Getting back into the hobby after 15 years. Finally.
Found:
-120G tank, 2 corner overflows
-Stand
-Aqueon proflex 4 sump
-reefmaster LED lights ( tank and sump )
-Top glass cover
-UV Sterilizer
-2 return pumps
-tons of live sand, looks like 2 inch layer.
$440 thought it was a good deal. I Refinished the stand. Starting to look good.

Not sure how to start a cycle on dry live rock. But picked up 110LBs for $240 today. Very happy!

Never heard of using pee. I thought maybe put 5 lbs of live rock to help.
