Almost full of water today. Can't fill it all the way up until tomorrow night because I don't have bulkheads/plumbing in yet. LFS owner is coming over to help me plumb it tomorrow. Water is sitting about 2" below the overflow until then. The old LEDs I have on there are just there to get some light going until my 48" reefbreeder LEDs are done with their backorder. LFS thinks he will have it in, in 2 weeks. Have about 52lbs of real reef live rock in a pile and unorganized. Will have another 70lbs or so in there and hopefully looking good in a week or so.

Just saw the picture with all the live rock in, that looks really awesome. What kind of rock did you use?

I got a DIY ATO hooked up using a float valve and not drilling the sump. I have the RO/DI in my basement plumbed in-line with 1" PEX that runs out to my sprinkler system. I have the water pressure as low as I can get it (It is very high pressure to begin with) and it seems to be working perfectly. The float cuts off with no hammering. I think I have about the perfect pressure going. For now, I am in a testing phase so I only have it on while I am present and can observe. I have some ALD modules and probes on the way to hook up to my Apex controller so I can get emailed in the event there is an overflow. After those are installed and if the ATO has no issues all weekend I will be willing to leave it unattended.
