AZBigJohn's slow going desert reefs

Well, I will probably start a new thread as I begin my new build thread... this is going to go slowly, as I want to do everything patiently and avoid my previous errors from rushing... BUT IT'S SO HARD!!! I'M SO EXCITED TO GET IT GOING!!!

Old tank is gone, new stand and tank are here, and pictured below. Not fully placed yet, because I want to plumb in a top-off fill line from my water mixing station, and will probably drop an ethernet cable for my Apex from my router for updates (I still run an Apex Jr with extra modules, so firmware updates need to be wired)

Stand (80 gallon sump on top for now):

Best picture I can get of tank on floor (210 gallon rimless):

Slow and steady wins the race, can't wait for the new thread the tank looks awesome! The overflow seems a tad on the small side or is that just me??
