Im new to tanking. Never had a tank. My girlfriends brother got me into it. This is what I have accomplished so far. 60lbs of live rock. 20lbs live sand. Aqua clear 110 filter doing 500gph. A hydor circulation and wave pump doing 1050gph. And a light I got from my girlfriend brother. What you guys think. Let me know some other things I may need and even let me know what may be wrong. Im new so all input is good input to me.

You'll definitely want a protein skimmer.

^Wondering the same.

That light will allow you to grow anything you want coral wise. Depending on the bulb and the size of the tank, it might need to be mounted fairly high so you don't bleach your corals.

Nice start. Definitely consider a protein skimmer (a good one). At a a minimum you need a surface skimmer (not the same thing) for the Aquaclear.

You'll get more overall flow in the tank if you point the Koralia slightly upward towards the surface. You also want some good surface agitation.
