My list:
1) Im waiting for my refund from melev so I can buy another RODI unit somewhere.
2) I have no sump or plumbing yet.
3) when knocking out that overflow yesterday, it took a little of the sidewalls acrylic with it. So Im gonna put a mixture of superglue gel and acrylic shaving to fill the little gouge. Then just to be safe, I am going to superglue a small patch of clear acrylic over it.
Besides that, nothing is holding me back lol.

16 is thick. You can also use it to fix a skimmer if you were to crack it.
Another idea I thought of today.... I am going to make a type of light rack out of PVC pipe. I dont know what size yet, since I dont know how large the reflectors of the T5s are going to be. I'll just use the weldon to assemble the fixture, maybe teamed up with some bolts and nuts, to be sure. After that, I am going to cut enough of the PVC pipe, maybe leaving 60% of it, at the angle where the reflectors will point the T5s into the tank. I'll have 2x48" T5s length wise, then 4x24" T5s running depth wise, one on each side of the Lumenarcs. I think this will work very well. if it doesnt, oh well, PVC is pretty cheap. It sounds like a sound idea in my head, I guess we'll see how it works.
Alright, so I got the PFO dual 250w ballast and the octo 250 pro skimmer in today. The hamiltons with the PFO and lumenarc looks great. Not too blue, but not yellow at all.
As far as the skimmer. I was expecting a little break in period... not the case. literally, as soon as I plugged it in, this beast started pulling skimmate. the collection cup is 1" full, and its only been on for about 30 minutes. I guess that shows how great this thing works, how crappy the coralife skimmers are, and how dirty my tank in return was lol.
The only thing I can say is when I was attaching the air hose, the acrylic nipple on the volute came off, just unglued. I had to reglue that. And the nipple on the round air muffler thing on the top broke off very easily when I put the air hose on. Two things broke within the first 2 minutes, and I had to reglue them. THAT sucked. The skimmer function doesnt though.
