We have made a bit more progress in the last few days. All the leaks have been resolved and we have our 70lbs of dry rock in the tank.



The next step is to add water, live rock and begin the curing process. We have decided to follow Myka's guide for this which includes having the skimmer up and running from day one. ttp://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=44859

We purchased our skimmer (Reef Life Support System R8-u) a while back and last night pulled it out of the box to assemble it. We quickly discovered that one fitting has messed up threads and the fitting to hook up the pump to the skimmer is missing. This morning we contacted RLSS and new parts are coming by Fed Ex. The folks at RLSS were very easy to work with.



So, while we wait for the parts to arrive, I plan to begin to work on a side cabinet that will house an ATO tank, some of the electrical and some storage space. So its off to the workshop this evening or tomorrow AM to start on a cabinet. I am willing to take any and all suggestions and recommendations on the electircal part of this cabinet. - Thanks
