Just moved to Niceville.

RO/DI arrived from BRS on time, very well packed and easy to install. Flushed for one hour as instructed and now collecting water in 29 gallon Brute trash can. @ 75 gpd it will take about three days to collect enough for my system including turning it all off at night to prevent a flood.

My other stuff arrived:
Mag 7
Refractometer
BRS 2 part
GFO
Carbon
And more filter socks. I ordered smaller ones than I have already by mistake. I may not even use them because I'm sure they will clog very quick then again I like having many socks so I can wash a ton at a time in the wash machine for conveyance.

I also got 40 pounds of this Pink Fiji from Matts and added it to finish off the sand bed.

Nice. Looks like Christmas morning for you! I bought the same RODI from BRS as while back. It has been great so far. I think it is about time to replace the filter in mine. I was looking at them the other day and the first one looks very dirty.

I got a BRS shipment today myself. Needed another Apex energy bar 8 and VDM for the controller. Hoping to be able to finish wiring up the canopy this weekend so I can get the lights and powerheads running in the tank.

I keep thinking I need to go back and do a build thread for my tank like you have as well.

Well, didn't intend on making a complete build thread but then thought it could help others and myself one day.
 
Lights are on! Took about 10 mins to get everything hooked up and done! Looks great but water is cloudy until I get the system filled and pumps going.
 
Some amateur cable management! Haha. Easily could be worse but keeps all power supplies and connection up and away from any possible water spills. High and dry.

I like this heavy duty power strip, it secured to the wood via to strong wood screws. If I'm in a hurry to pull a plug I don't risk pulling everything down with it. They also have 300 joules surge protection and built in circuit breaker. Each plug is tight and secure as well, I've actually had a pump come disconnected simple by the weight of the cord once because of a cheap power strip.

Those look good. Can't wait to get mine running. I wanted to get it done this weekend but worked on a project for my wife this weekend.

Cycle done, ammonia 0ppm nitrite 0ppm nitrate 0ppm

I owe the quick cycle of 2 weeks to my carbon dosing and starting with some ammonia in the system. Curing the Pukani live rock wasn't bad at all. I thought it was going to make all kinds of problems. Again I think heavy dosing of vinegar was the key here too. So picked up a strawberry basslet, very pretty, also some snails and a pink birds nest frag.
