I just got this 37g tank today and transferred everything from my 30g to it. Here are some pictures of the setup. I am going to start adding corals in a week or so, and hopefully create the reef tank I have wanted for a long time.

very nice indeed. Could you give us a run down of what equipment has come with the system so we have a little more insight into what you have, as a bigger picture, would be good...

thanks for the support! I got this system off of e-bay for $125. I was originally looking for something larger, like a 55g, but this setup was too good to pass up.
For right now I just have it set up bare bones, with just a heater, PH, and HOB filter for surface agitation. I will hook up my Coral life skimmer this week and get another PH.
The lights are retrofit, and mounted in the canopy. it came with a 65W 10,000K bulb and a 65W actinic. Both lights are on seperate timers. For now I have the actinics running for 11 hours and the daylight running for 9 hours.
The person I got the tank from was pretty skilled at DIY, and threw in a DIY auto topoff and 5g reservoir. I'm pretty excited to have the lights and water level automatically controlled, because these were the things that I was most inconsistent with.
For now my livestock is the same it was in my 30g. I have 1 Valentini Toby, 2 Ocellaris Clowns, and a Sixline Wrasse. The Valentini will prevent me from keeping stoney corals, but I really only want soft corals anyways. I may trade the Wrasse for a Midas Blenny at some point, but am otherwise happy with my stock.
Sorry, that's a lot of info at once, but I'm pretty excited about this new setup. I'll post more pics as I make additions and changes.
