Mike,
If you're looking to set up a reef tank, you should have more LR than what you have. You'll need 1-2#/gal of rock for adequate biological filtration. If you're planning on a FOWLR, you are probably ok but more would be better.

Just curious-is the black sand just a preference thing or is it to mimic a certain type of reef? I was curious if sand color makes a difference in the tank? I'm a newbie so forgive me if the question sounds stupid.

Black sand is just a preference. No difference in what it will do in your tank. It will become live like any other color.. LOL

BUT remember if your making a reef with actinic lights the coral and fish colors will not be as bright. JMO
