This is my first reef setup so i know its not so "nice" yet but it will be as soon as i make some money. Its a 55-60 gal tank with a 20g sump, coral life lights 10,000k and 50/50 lights, super skimmer (skimmer) its got an overflow as you can see too, I LOVE IT, its a major upgrade from my last tank.

Just to let you know if the power shuts off the tanks level will drain down to the level of the return powerheads. And your sump could overflow so just raise them up a bit. The tank looks good though!

wow an anemone in a brand new tank...

probably wont make it.

you need a more established tank to support an anemone. people say 6 months established but as long as the parameters arent jumping everywhere it should be ok.

well actually the rock and the water came from an already established tank, as well as the anenomie and feather duster.. the only thing new about it is the tank. they will do just fine im sure, the have been for the past month.
