Just wanted to post some pics of my tank as I finally got it all setup and running. Some things to note - 75 Gal tank with 2 1" orverflow hole drilled into the back with the overflow indide the tank. The overflows feed my 30Gal sump, one through a bag filter the other direct feed into the skimmer. Mag 9.5 returns the water through 2 flex line returns on the opposite sides of the tank. 2 Seio 1100's on either corner of the tank provide flow as well as the returns providing a little into some tight spots. I have 75 lbs of live rock and 45 lbs of base rock that I "cooked" in a garbage can for 6 weeks and then placedinto the tank this past Saturday night. As of last night the Ammonia is 0, Nitrate is .02 and Nitrite is 0. The bottom is not all "real" crushed coral most of the peaks you see are sand/epoxy mix to create the look of lots of sand, then we put 15 lbs of crushed croal on top for the critters 
. As of last night I had some purple starting on most of the rocks and saw some small white worms sticking out of their homes. I have more fun looking at the empty tank that I thought I would.
I have a foam filter in the sump getting full of bacteria so I can get the quarentine tank up and running in a week or so in order to get a couple clowns and maybe a softie or something.
I need some stuff to place into my refuguim so if anyone has clippings that could help me out - please let me know.
