Ok.... Im printing all this out to go over again and again well Im at work
 If anyone has a pic to post please let me know.... I understand and I do already have a Tee fitting with a seprate ball valve to dump back into my sump so I would drill and tap it to fit the smaller pipes on the reactors? Big day for me... Got me some Live Rock 215 lbs plus sand to start.... Now im looking for shelves and big branches while I get started on the sump and filtration setup.Ive got 4 bubblers with a 3000gph pump and 1400gph powerhead in with the rock now just letting it cure ect.

Quick update since I havent recieved any of my filter stuff yet....
Rock all seems good, All kinds of weird stuff in there I keep finding.... some coral stuff I have no clue what it is If you know please tell me lol But im happy, got a couple of clowns in there too so it "is" a fish tank Most of it looked dead and slimy when I first dumped the rocks in there its nowhere near set up yet but this stuff started to look like stuff I shouldnt let sit at the bottom..... And now they look WAY better. Also loving the use of the camera again yay

Did the liverock come with those favias (The giant red & green LPS), if so MAJOR score! Looks to be healthy and of very good quality, great pick on the rock its one of the most important parts of your system!

Whoo hoo
Im super happy with the rock.... Took alot of time to find but it worked out perfect. Everything in there other than the clowns came with the rock I figure it must be doing ok for being dry a half hour in transport as 2 days later it perked right up and is out and swaying now where it was limp and dull before

looks good , prob a bit early for clowns any amonia from die off in transport of the lr or adding the sand can and prob will kill them, if by chance they do survive its still gonna be hard on them.keep an eye on your amonia and if it gets above 0.5 i would remove them or use something to get rid of the amonia.nice score on the favia's too
cheers

So when everyone said.... get a pair of clowns to cycle the tank they lied? lol
Im doing periodic WCs as well as a bunch of turnover and really it was more of a tank move than a new setup as I got almost all the bio and i have next to nothing compared to the bio load it had.... Ive done this a bunch of times with fresh..... and in way worse scenarios never had a spike.... but I will keep you posted they are the saltwater goldfish arent they? Jk
