I got off to a good running start a few weeks ago when the tank and cabinet arrived. It turned out that two of the supporting cabinet panels were broken.
I have been informed that the panels just left today by FedEx with delivery of March 27th. Seeing that I ordered the tank and cabinet on February 4th I am certainly learning the art of moving slowly in this hobby.
In the meantine I purchased ~35lbs of live Cuban rock from Chris at Interior Reef. I had it bathing in a Rubbermaid tub but I had a problem getting the temperature to stabilize so I moved into the bare bottom tank. (I also purchased live sand, heater, test kit etc. from Chris. Great to have him setting up shop in the valley.)
The tank is perched on my workbench with the rear compartments facing out. That has given me a chance to study the "layout" of the tank and compartments. When the cabinet is constructed then I will tear down this temporary installation and start again at the tank's final placement.
I will take a few photos of the temp setup soon. Everything is running well. I will need to deal with the microbubbles generated by the skimmer and reducing the waterfall sound as water enters the refugium.
Anxously awaiting final installation.
