Sounds like a solid plan! Can't wait to see pictures of the build!

Have you thought about tampa bay saltwater for live rock? I've never used them before, but it is something I would look at if I did a new build or reboot of my current system ever.

Can't help you get the tank on the stand, but I did rotate the picture so the tank doesn't slide off...lol. Looking good. The RS tanks are such great, clean looking systems.
