Your tank isn't even wet yet and I feel like it's ahead of my 1yr+ build... ;-)

My Tank Thread
I'm trying to get it setup ASAP so I can move all my frags. Keeping them in a 20g system that is fish less is quite a pain. Will be so nice to have the additional volume to work with. I'm hoping to chip away at it a little each night this week. My plumbing adapters to install the Apex sensors came today finally!

Well the tank is wet and rock is in. I snapped my return fitting playing Hercules attaching the vinyl hose. Doesn't leak much but bad enough I am not comfortable leaving it running with tank unattended 
. The leak goes in the sump but if the fitting blows, oh holy mess!
Heater in tank and gyres running. +/-80% full. So here we go. Won't have a complete system till later this week. Rock has been soaking in bacteria in a bin in my basement with seeded rock. Let the cycle begin. I have a few fish in QT as well.

I think I am more excited about this build than my own.
What's in the QT? ;Peeking

Well, I finally have some updates. Got all equipment moved. Dosers installed etc. I've been swamped with work. I have moved all my frags and hard mounted most of them. I will follow this post up with some pics my wife was nice enough to take for me tonight while I was bleaching and doing WCs on QTs! I was having issues with lighting and flow in my nano so I made the move much earlier than anticipated. Lost a couple frags but it was the best thing to do...
Here is what I ended up with inside the cabinet. It's a tight fit but it works.

Hopefully not too many favorites were lost. At least u have peace of mind now.

Thanks!
Honestly, first time I've tried to be neat. I still need to zip-tie all of my tubing.
I'm always embarrassed to open the cabinet on my 750... Can you say... Robin's could lay eggs in the nice birdnest I have under there...;Blackeye
Impressive. When do you find time to work man? Qt’ing fish, answering questions in the disease section, setting up a new tank......
What are you dosing besides the acro power?
Looking good. Those gyres should be the ticket.
