bkvreef's 220 build part "C"

[bkvreef]

Well, I started with a 220 about 8 years ago. I had it for 5 years but due to other things going on in life I had to sell.
Then about 2 years ago things stabilized so I bought another 220 only to find out that it leaked.
Well thanks to a member in a local club I found a great deal on a 220 setup.

Here is what I got as part of the package:
220 gallon tank (72 x 24 x 30)
stand (needs to be tossed, and build/buy a new one)
75 gal sump
250+ lbs in sand
250+ lbs of live rock
2 dual head powerheads
return pump
RO/DI
AquaC EV-180 skimmer with mag 9.5
BRS dual filter with maxi pump

Placed order through glass holes today:
1500 overflow kit
2 x 250w heaters
thermometer
refractometer
4 x filter socks

Here is what I still have on my list to get:
loc-line
lights (leaning towards marine solutions dimmable l.e.d's three of them)
stand and canopy
salt
salifert test kits (ph, nitrate, nitrite..what else?)
dj strip (for easy on off for pumps, etc)
food
WHAT AM I MISSING?

What about reactors for carbon, GFO, for starters?

Yep that's what I meant by BRS dual filter. Sorry, I meant reactors, thanks.

Wow, I didn't realize how long it had been!
My friend built the stand and canopy! It looks fantastic. I will post pictures later. Only problem was when I told him I wanted a stand that was 30+". I didn't tell him that I wanted the inside to be that. He built the stand with a 4" platform. It's still fine but the 75 gal, sump and skimmer are a little snugger than I had hoped.

I picked up a SRO 3000sss for a great deal.

Yesterday I redid the sump so I have a fuge on left and skimmer on right.

Coming the next week I will plan on plumbing. I hope to T one of the dual overflows to be able to control the flow into the fuge. I will also t return to feed the BRS dual reactor. Of course all of that is in theory
