Hey all, grew up with a 125 gallon fowlr that my pops had. Finally decided to take the plunge and setup my very own reef! I purchased a 60g cube with an xr30wpro, mp40, eurofil60 sump, bm 3.5, reef link, sedra 5000, also got a 30g qt tank, sump has one baffle and one side is for a filtersock and the other side is for the bm and the sedra. I was also given a box of plumbing parts. I am getting ready to plumb the tank and do not want to make any mistakes whatsoever and am more than willing to take any suggestions into account thrown my way! Will be posting pics within the next two hours or so!

Just a tip, if you use the photobucket "direct" link (just click the word "direct" to get the link), you can display pics in-thread.
