Hey Uvajed, welcome aboard! It's always nice to see such enthusiasm for a common interest!

First off congrats on the tank that will be a nice size to start off with. As far as the LR is concerned I would get a nice foundation of rock that you like. Personal taste varies so go with what you like and don't be concerned about mixing different types if you like that look. After you get about a # per gallon as a foundation, I would cherry-pick your pieces. Of course you might be able to cherry-pick from the getgo if there is good selection at your local LFSs.

I think most people here would advise you to do it right the first time, and to most of us that means getting your tank drilled for an overflow and sump. Personally, I wouldn't even go through the effort of setting up a saltwater tank without a sump...and if you are interested a refugium. Having said that, I will add that I am not an advocate of refugiums.

Look forward to seeing you progress and exchanging stories along the way!
