So a little back ground before I start with the picture. I bought the tank and stand off of a fellow reefer whom bought it from Bayside Corals. Seeing as Bayside sold the tank I decided they would be great help to set up the tank, as this is a build with no fish or rock transfer from a current set up.
Here is the fish stock list thus far subject to change based on peoples personal experiences with said list: Dwarf flame angel, 2 Mandarin, Harlequin Tusk (Australia), Achilles Tang. Give opinions on these please (compatability, size requirement, too many too fish? also tang will be last added to tank but a year until mandarins are in the tank for pod population with leaves flame angel as first as mandarins must be in before Tusk) I have been reef keeping for 6 years and still this will be the first sump set up I have had. This tank will be a LPS dominated tank with some SPS, hopefully a blueberry gorgonia (will try only once , once tank is established), and clams as well.
For equipment I currently recieved from Bayside (picture below):
Bubble Magnus Nac-7, 2x MP40W ES, 300W heater, Quiet one 5000, 90 pounds of base rock, 2x pails IO Salt,
Still to come from Bayside:
Sump (3 chamber skimmer, Ulva macro, and return), black sand, 2x AI Sol Black LED lights, AI Controller, and AI Hanging Kit. Let me know if anything else you'll think I need.
Once sump and sand arrives I will be posting pics of the rest of the build. I picked black sand as I think it'll make the corals on the sand colors pop more.
