Whats up people? Im new here and im fairly new to SW. My cousin has a huge 250 gallon reef tank that ive been helping with for a little while now and ever since ive been around it ive fell in love! So i decided to start my own. So heres whats goin down.

I odered my tank today and it is 120 gallons, 48''x24''x24''
pre-drilled and ready to go...will have pictures next week!

The lighting that im looking at is a 47 inch,4 bulb 54-watt HO T5 fluorescent lighting fixture and includes two 10,000K T5 daylight bulbs and two actinic T5 bulbs.

No idea on what skimmer/sump i am going to go with so this is something that i am going to deffinitely need your guys' help on so any ideas on that or anything else i am going to need to get ready 2 cycle?

thanks and please post!
