Here's a picture of the RO all cleaned up. I will hang it up later on to hide it more and the blue supply line actually tucks behind it when I'm not making water.

I hope you are as talented in reef keeping as you are in building the tank

Update:
I will be picking the tank and stand up next week and plumbing everything Friday evening. I mounted the RO unit on the cabnet wall. Here's some shots of the rock and my reefkeeper system I got all sorted out.
Here's my rock. I wish I had something bigger to cycle all of it in but I gues this will have to do for now.

His old shop was called Time Machine Racecraft. He now works with zodiac and creates different products with the engineers.
Update:
The tank will be here Friday and I'm picking the stand up hopefully Saturday. I'm going to plumb the tank this weekend and fill it up.

Call me silly but I love seeing clean welds (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong as I've never welded a single thing in my life).

Kwoo008: I have to agree weld beads can look amazing when done right. It really is a art when it comes to good metal work and welding.
Update:
So I picked the tank up today from Aaron over at the SPS Coral store and let me tell you this is really one of the best LeeMar tanks I have seen in regards to quality. From the silicon to the over flow box it is really flawless. I would like to thank Aaron for everything, he really came through and helped me from the size of the tank to overflow options. He literally sent me drawings of every option for the tank. Here's some pics of it in the garage.

If your interested give Aaron a call and tell him that you are interested in a price for a tank like mine (Bryan). I'm sure Aaron will hook you up with a great deal. I don't really want to throw prices out because I know LeeMar is constantly changing their prices on tanks.

Quick update:
Had a little delay getting the stand (friend got married) so it took an extra week. I will be filling the tank up on Sunday. I have been cycling the rock in trash cans and my sump for the last three weeks. I did some test today and all Amonia and nitrites are at zero. I cleaned the sand thoroughly as well so it's fresh this weekend. I'm hoping to wait two weeks or so and maybe add a fish.
Some pics:
You can see the stand is about 80% done here. He put the cross beams in so I can have a shelf for my 3 PC4 strips and dosers. I will be drilling holes in the wood shelve so I can run all the wires and tubes through it.
My PUrple Monster waiting for pick up.
Another: red Hyacinthus

I'm getting it from a friend on the East Coast. I have ora German blue polyp acro coming, as well as other sps. The rest of my SPS will be coming from Aaron at the SPS coral store. I like your nem in your avatar. Where did you get it? I want a little nem for the sand.

Glad to say I have salt water in my tank. My day was very productive, picked up the stand, painted it, ran all the plumbing, added sand, and rock. I still have to program the reefkeeper, get my skimmer online, and dosing pumps. Also ran into some problems with my MP40. the bolt was so loose on the prop that it totaly destroyed the plastic. thats what i get for buying used, got it all fixed up though. Here's some pics of what's done.
