240g lee mar in-wall commences!

I appreciate the kind words and concerns!
This combo is working great for me though, it may be due to the fact that I do not have high amounts of evap due to having an ac unit instead of fans blowing air directly at the sump. A quick tip for you guys would be to create a siphon on the line from your resovoir to your aqualifter. The only drawback to doing this would be that water would continue to flow through pump on its own if the pump lost power. I discovered this because after setting my float switch and testing the system I switched off the power and noticed my top off contaner was not being filled up fast enough by my ro/di. So I checked the sump and water was flowing but it was no big deal as I was able to shut it off through the air-gang I'm running the water through.
 
Thank you very much! Glad I could be of inspiration, hope you'll tag along for the rest of the build:)

And BTW Welcome to Reef Central.:bounce1:
 
Got 120lbs of dry rock in Thursday:) so I will be draining the tap water and setting up some formations. I took some pics of the rock and also of the tank with the trim painted and also some shots comparing the color of an older 20,000k Ushio and a brand new Phoenix 14,000k.

All pieces are football sized with nice crevices and structure:

I will add a few pieces of LR and a few cups of live sand to seed tank as well as the RDSB. I decided on the CaribSea Aragamax Select Oolitic substrate for 1.5" sand bed in the DT and a 7" DSB in the sump. I think six 30lbs bags would be a good start, I will place a second rock order next week after I see where I'm at.
 
Show us the rocks!
I think the aquascape turned out really nice today.

Also, I am inspired by the magnets idea! Thanks!
 
It looks great! I was gonna take pics right after work, but instead I have a birthday dinner to attend so I won't be home for a couple hours. I'll get them up tonight for sure...:)
