First a little about me from my introduction post:
"Hello, R2R is a great source for things reef.
Yep, I'm going back in. The wife and I reefed for 12 years, this was around 30 years ago. Needless to say, the technology, equipment, and information available today is leaps and bounds ahead of what we are experienced with, which overall is a good thing.
That said, some things are the same. It can be hard for me to make a decision now about equipment for instance, with all the choices available these days. But hey, I think that is part of the fun of the hobby.
Already got RO/DI setup running, and have the new version of the Waterbox 100.3 on order, supposed to ship June 1st, (now June 20th) looking forward to that. Trying to educate myself and make good decisions on all the other stuff now. We'll see how things work out. I'll probably do a build thread too. "
...............................
Please keep in mind that we are starting back up and ideas and plans are subject to change.
Have had some extra time due to the tank delivery being delayed a few weeks. A little patience test even before the tank is even set up.
Here's some picks of my RO/DI set up and some details. The water connection is after our Jason's whole house water softener:

The tank will be on the second floor and we have verified with our insurance that we are covered if the unfortunate occurs. The RO/DI is on the second floor as well as I can't be bothered to haul water up stairs or pump up from the garage.
Pretty typical RO/DI stuff, with some custom work on the tank cap to get a pressure relief vent and float valve installed. Suction relief is already built into the cap.
So, here are some pics to get started. Will follow up with the stuff bought and coming in for the tank. Only major thing really not determined yet is the lighting. Has to look great and grow whatever. I've changed my mind 3 or 4 times already trying to decide......
