My Tank Thread
That's probably the most unique location I've ever seen for an RODI system. Kudos on keeping it hidden and well-placed!Not long after bringing the tank home, ordered the all important RO/DI filter, given that we rent I had a bit of a hard time figuring out a good way to store it when not in use and after much debate came up with the idea of hiding it in a over the toilet cabinet. Trip to lowes and managed to find another steal of a deal. Assembled and with some frustrating measuring and re measuringfor the holes to mount the actual filters got everything set up and running great

still in holding, can't decide if it's worth cycling without the sump and adding it later on or not
Cycle away! Sump will only make it easier later by adding more water volume and more filtration options. But might as well get started on cycle and deal with any algae blooms

Just had the back of the tank drilled for the overflow to the sump, one step closer to being up and running. Next step, plumbing ! !

So the sump is now in the process of being built, I've had the dry rock sitting for some time now after the move and have finally gotten around to some tinkering with the layout and for now this is what I have come up with so far, any thoughts or tips??
