Default The Equipment List for the New Setup

Had a chance to catch up today and get the list of what actually is in the system, although I see I still need a few questions answered....

Tank - TruVu 130g - 72.5" x 18.5" x 24"
Wavemaker - SeaSwirl 3/4"
Light - Solaris G-72
Rock - 100 lbs. Tongan
Live Sand - 240 lbs. CaribSea
In-tank Pump - Rio 2100
Sump/Fuge - Custom TrueVu - 48" x 15" x 17"
Particle Filtration - 5 micron Diatom Bags (2)
Skimmer - EuroReef RS-135
Heater - 300W Digital
Live Sand for Refugium - 40 lbs. CaribSea
Seaweed for Refugium - Chaeto
Live Rock Rubble for Refugium - Tongan
Return Pump - Rio 2500
Calcium Reactor - Korallin C1502
Calcium Reactor Pump - Eheim
CO2 Supply - 5 lb. bottle (from Praxair)
Chiller - 1/4 hp TradeWind
Chiller Pump - Rio 1100
Stand - Custom 36" height Honey Maple
Canopy - Custom 24" height Honey Maple

That's it - a few details missing but the main stuff.... All the water parameters look good, although we had a mismatch when we brought a sample to the lfs, so I got a new pH and Alk kit and our numbers still look good. Canopy and corals on Thursday, fish a week later..... or maybe next weekend.

Amazing how quickly the diatoms clean the water, and how much more efficient the EuroReef is. Although the switchout cost a lot, we sure learned even more...
