I fixed your pics for you. Great looking cube you got there

EDIT:

At least I thought I did, but they all seem to be going dead on me

Nice setup Dave and quite a bit of investment.
I have a similar one and I am curious how the the MP10s will do. I have two Koralia 1050 currently on a wavemaker.

Suggestion:
since you don't have water in and it's easy now I would advise you to replace the valve on the return pump effluent with a check valve. First, it is a bad practice to "chock" the pump (This Tunze has an inlet flow adjuster that you should use if you need lower flow (you won't I have the same)). Second, there is no need for that control. Third, when the return pump will stop, some water will siphon back into the sump and this will cause your skimmer to overflow.

hope it helps,
MaLi

nice setup, looks like you got the best of everything in terms of equipment How do you like the Reef Octopus? I have the 3000 and love it. Pulls out a few inches of stuff in just a few days.

Very nice tank! I too have a 60 cube, unfortunately I do not have the same budget lol. Be sure to keep us in the loop on this. I am very interested to find out how the MP10's work out for you. Currently I am running koralia's, but, plan on moving to closed loop soon. Very nice looking set-up cant wait to see its progress.
