Here are some pics of the H&S. Great skimmer and whisper quiet with the silencer.

Looks like a nice start, I can't wait to see a final product. One question though it say's "Filtration:13g custom acrylic" what do you mean by that? Also what do you mean you run Kalc threw your Ro? Do you mean your RO/unite, Is that safe with the membrain?
 
Here are some pics of the tank with some Marco rock, sand and beginning to fill.

Closer look at the skimmer. Nice skimmate in only a few hours.

Looks really nice man. looks elegant. I also created my own little over flow that goes to a Deltec MCE600, but mine is magnetized so I can move it up and down depending on water level.
 
Thanks..

I was looking at HOB skimmer too, but was able to find a H&S small enough for the sump.
