Rob's Innovative Marine 100 EXT Build

Howdy everyone, my first job at 14 was actually in a pet store so I got the bug pretty early. I used to spend my whole paycheck in the store, they loved me. I'm recently getting back into the game and decided to do it right and order a real tank haha. I currently have a small fluval 32.5 mixed reef but running out of room and have much more I want to do. I have become consumed with doing research and watching every YouTube video on reef tanks and corals I can find. I have also searched "100" on here and subbed to everyone's builds. I am always open to feedback so don't be shy :)

I don't have a ship date for my tank but when I ordered I was told early December, people now are getting late December dates so hopefully I beat the Black Friday rush. I have purchased some stuff already but also trying to get the remainder of the stuff I need while the Black Friday sales are still going on. I do already have a par meter and BRS RODI.

I also have a small 6 gallon ReefCasa frag tank so I been stocking up on frags while I am waiting for the tank to arrive.

Things I have purchased:
-Innovative Marine 100 EXT in white
-Innovative Marine 15G ATO Reservoir
-Reef Octopus Regal 150 INT
-Marco Shelf Rock
-Hyrdos Launch
-Hydros ATO
-Hydros Salinity Probe
-Hydros Feeder
-Carib Sea Special Grade Sand x4
-Inkbird ITC-306A Wifi Controller
-BRS 300W Heater Element x2
-Aqua Ultraviolet 25W UV Sterilizer
-Ecotech MP40 x2
-RedSea Reefmat 500
-Ecotech Radion XR15 G6 Blue x3

Well tank showed up last week, I was excited to get it all set up so I let it fill up with RODI overnight and noticed it was leaking in the back, so I had to empty it. I was very upset because this is on the second floor of my home and it was not easy getting it up the stairs. Innovative is sending another under warranty when they get one. Curious if they are gonna want this one back or tell me to dispose of it.
