Yeah that is a sweet layout and nice setup.
I have been using my camera on a regular basis for timelapse.

Thanks again everyone for the words of encouragement on the build.
I initially said I was going to start filling the tank last night but likely going to be going to the hospital as the wife is showing more and more signs of early labor. I bought 150 GPD membranes from BRS that arrived early this week and have been battling issues with it in the following thread: http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2282774.
I've tested every which way (In same exact configuration as 75 gpd membrane) and was getting 45 TDS from the two 150s combined and in the mid 20s when I tested the 150s by themselves. The 75 GPD gives TDS of 1-2 for comparison so BRS is providing refund for the membranes and after hearing experiences from other reefers, seems they are low quality membranes. That being said, if I'm able will be picking up a couple Spectrapure 90 GPD membranes at Premium Aquatics today.

Just got back from Premium Aquatics and put the 2 X 90 GPD units in place (And 90 GPD flow restrictor) with the same configuration and getting a TDS of 2. Woohoo, now I can actually make some progress on my project again

Been a rollercoaster ride the past few days and family is the focus right now and forgot I even have a tank?!
Baby boy was born Sunday night after mom had major complications and both scared hell out of me! Currently in NICU and hope we can go home sometime soon and I can teach him to swim in my little ocean in our home.
Before NICU
Tonight with feeding tube, ng tube, and too many wires.

Awwwww. What a precious little one. Congrats Dustin! 
Nice... as you can see in my signature.. I have a few.
Good luck. Don't be one of those parents that need to make it quiet time and all. Things as normal. That way things will not suddenly wake up little one, in the event of something happening.
Things will work out and you will be home soon!
