New Set Up

next a clean up crew and fish and a few choice corals. I am going to be pretty picky as to what will go in.....
Tre, it isn't really an all in one. It is a package that is put together though. Comes with sump, skimmer, and light and all the plumbing overflows etc. which I ended up redoing.
I modded the light tree and added a vortech m20 for flow my own heater etc. The cabinet to the right holds all the electrical which i like as water and electricity in close proximity makes me somewhat nervous.

So, its time for me to learn something, TRe, why are you not a fan of all in ones. I am guessing that the companies that put the tank setups together put in equipment that is sub standard or is there another reason. I was going to go the all in one route when I first started, but wanted a bigger tank.
okay going through some diatoms.....will add some snails for a cleanup crew and a few peppermint shrimp if I can find any locally to deal with a few aiptaisa that are popping out of the rock. Can't wait to add fish.....but I am a patient sort.....well maybe not as much as I need to be.
Didn't see any ammonia spike just a very minor blip......I added some flake food to initiate the cycle but saw very little ammonia. Should I add more or assume that as I used fully cured live rock that my cycle is very short and minor?

Well I am pretty darn sure it is also. A minor diatom bloom which is perfectly normal.....so today I added the stuff from my old set up I had saved.....some zoa's, rics, an open brain and a small lobo and duncan. A new pair of true percs....5 turbos and 12 nassarius snails over the past few days.....
