Zhi's First Build Ever

Figure I would start a build thread like everyone else to motivate myself.

This is my first ever reef tank. Any advice/critics would be great.
I've been going back and fore between the tanks I have but the 45G cube work the best (thanks Kris from ALD)

Started building a stand only got the frame down.

Sitting in a friends living room ATM Trying to plan out my apartment before proceeding with the rest.

So far:
ATI 24" 4 bulb sunpower
ASM Mini-G skimmer
20G tank - needs baffle to be used as a sump (until I can afford a custom)
Clip light with Par38 led bulb as fuge light
Hydor inline heater
Kent RO/DI 75GPD unit
Kent RO unit-to be convert to reactor
Way too much dry rocks and dead rocks (haven't decided what to do with them)

On its way:
Jebao WP-25
Jebao DC 6000

Will be using sketch up soon to plan my final project so I can panel.

Slow build but hoping to put it into gear before the snow comes.

Great to see that tank again. Looking good cant wait too see it wet!

Yea can't wait... But I've already learned my lesson in rushing... Broken skimmer..leaking sumps. So I just have to wait until everything is good to go before just jumping.

Might just "cook" the dead rocks first and start curing dry/dead rocks with some live rock in a giant bin.
