well i finally have some time to update. So after being pressured by my neighbors to get the tank out of garage they offered some help one afternoon. I came in from work open garage and 5 minutes later 5 of us were ready for a work out (sorry i didn't take pictures but we need all our hands. Most of all thank you all those who offered to move tank. Took 3 dollies and brute force but it was worth it. I qoute matt next door. "my kid will finish collage by the time you move that tank it". Rob and mike were kind enough to add to pressure
there is about 20 gallons here. As i write the i am at around 80 gallons. I have cleaned and rinsed off sand and it's ready to be added tomorrow. All electrical is complete (thanks mike janes on reefkeeper crash course). I will take more pictures of electrical. Next up on work is wiring up t5 and led. First time being off from work on call in almost a year.
sexy!

Looking good! The wait time for RO is crazy at that volume, I could not believe it took you 30 hours to get to the level when I saw it Sunday.

Thanks joe. It is slow. I really think I need a buster pump. I am at the half way point. Did a 15 min flush on ro last night
Manny thank you.

Would a 75 psi pump work? If so, ive got one you can use. I used it for my misting system, already set for 1/4 tubing.
Ro
Ro
Rob gauge readings was 50psi. I always knew I had low pressure but until today I had no clue how much water was not being produced. Special thanks to Joe (TheAquatect) for lending me his RO pump. Amazing difference.
Before pump:
After pump:
After adjusting it:
Pump off:
Pump on:
Still at 0 tds.
At this rate I should be full including sump by 6pm.
Hour test gauge to measure E.T.A
In short LF: RO pump and switch.

, If you need any help wiring up the T5's, LMK, I don't have any opinions other than I run my LEDs and T5s for 8-9 hr a day and run blues very heavy. Everyone has their own "snake oil" so don't even want to join that opinion "fest" .mike

Aaron,
I was sure I had posted this at one point. Might have been on build thread v1.0.
Here is a current plan:
I really would love suggestions on schedule. I already got the bulbs and ballast just need to wire them.
