New Here... And Just Started Up My First "Real" Reef Build

[Broadfield]

My name is Toby and I'm from Normal, IL. I bought one of the new Red Sea Reefer 450's a couple of months back and it's starting to take shape. I have had a couple of AIO nano's in the past, but this is my first external sump setup... loving it!
