    Ok just picked up a RSM250 pretty excited about it. Filling it up now.. Here are pics and parts list.

    I have LED lighting in the hood. I will get better pics with the lights on...
    The LEDs are setup using the built in timer that ran the T5's that were originally in there. There are 24 XPE royal blues (500mw BIN) run at 700ma and 6 XM-L cool whites run at 1750 ma. Color works out to about a 14k Phoenix, a touch whiter

    Fiji Pink Live Sand 60lbs
    65lbs of Tonga live rock (will get pics in the tank when the water clears up)

    Looks good! The LED'S look great. You're really going to get excited when you get to add life stock to the tank.
