new 80 gal set up

[twistedimage92]

here are some pics of my 80 tall... also, about 30-35 gal in the sump.

120 lbs of rock, more in the box still (waiting for water to go evaporate), live crushed coral in the sump from my other tank before i took it down for this tank. going to get algea in the refugium (what type of algea should i get for the refug?)
i have 2 clowns and a coral beauty from the 46 tank. i was thinking to just get a couple eels or just get some more fish. this hobby is just so darn expensive. just want to make it sweet, without having to pay out the butt. heres what i have so far.

got a good amount of rock in there;chaetomorpha is a good option.

I second the cheato.....you really don't need the bioballs and I would lose the crushed coral in the sump. take it out gradually and then once it is all out replace it with sand.

well its not actually in there yet... i would like for some of it to be used because it has all the "good stuff" in there like the tiny things crawling around. some tiny star fish and such.

I suggest putting about 2 cups into a nylon stocking and placing that in your sump, this will seed your sand and then can be easily removed later.

good idea
