Thankyou, I appreciate it. I'm definitely in no rush. This is my first build. I've always had AIO. Plumbing was the part that had me worried but got throughit with some great advice from some great local reefers on LaRC. I also forgot to mention. I do have rock that has been cooking for the last few months in a spare tank

Are you in NOLA? As much as I love this hobby, I think King Cake, Cafe Au lait and Beignets will take the win any day . . .

Finally got the tank wet and on its way. Turned the lights on to get a few pics. Next is to program the Radions where I want them, install the retrofit T5's and build a equipment cabinet
