setting up New SPS Tank

[saltygeek75]

So im getting ready to set up a New SPS tank this week. Tank is 20 gal H with a 4 strip Nova Ext T5 HO's and a Aqua C Remora Skimmer with a rio 1400 gal hr pump. I 20 lbs of dead sand in there now and im adding 20 more live to it tomorrow, with some live rock around 40 lbs worth 10 gal of water from my main tank and the rest im going to make. Think im going to leave it for about 4-5 weeks before i put anything in it just to make sure its fully cycled.

Hears a few pic's i took
