OK, sorry all. Been very busy with work and been working no the tank on/off. Finally got around to posting an update, sorry for not having too many pictures. It's been like Christmas over here with new stuff being delivered just about daily 
So I finally plumbed the tank, full siphon. It's running silently, love it. Here's what the inside of the stand looks like now. My sump only has 2 drains so I ran the emergency directly into the Refugium section, I also plumbed it in white PVC on purpose, makes it easier for me to ask the kids "Is there water coming out of the white pipe?"
For skimmer, I purchased a Vertex Omega 150 - wow! built like a tank. Off to the right, you'll see Trigger Systems' new ATO Reservoir, that just came in today. It's a brand new item that matches my sump perfectly looks/feels well made and holds 10 gallons. In the back, I mounted the BRS dual reactor, that's not fully setup yet but it'll be some time still before I need it. I'll get around to it this week sometime.
Also picked up this Dosing container from eBay, took tis sweet time to get here from China. Couldn't match the sump and ATO reservoir in color, so Orange it is. Looks and feels pretty decent and best of all, it doesn't leak.
An finally, here's a shot of the tank filled and cycling...woohoo!
I think it came out pretty decent, electrical and lights are still pending. I'll transfer all of that from the tank this one is replacing as soon as it's done cycling.
