OK Guys this is what I am going with...

[saltydogg21]

I have a 125gallon tank built in overflows, going with about 140lb of live sand give or take... and I have 150 lbs of live rock to start... sump not sure what the actually size is.. I have a Eheim 1262 for pump and going to be using a Bubble Magus Nac 7 as protein skimmer.... Lighting USA Nova extreme t5ho... 20 gallon refugium... powerheads tbd... 20 gallon refugium. Two 200 watt heaters with controllers attached.... What do you guys think?

If you havent already bought your skimmer, i would go a little bigger. Rule of thumb is 2x the volume if you have the space. Other than that sounds good.

Sounds good so far... any pics?

Go as big as you can on the skimmer. The 20 gallon refuge sounds great. That should be good for the fuge. I want to see pics.
