So i worked my butt off this weekend and got it all together and running.
 added a t5 24" and some of those ikea LEDs to add a bit of color.  over head shot. I added a little spot to the overflow to hold some filter floss.also put in a 425gph nano powerhead. I hope this wont be too much flow. The return pump is a maxi jet 1200 on a small DIY spray bar.  Filled the side compartment with about 4" of crushed coral from an existing setup. Used liverock and livesand which was also from an existing system.  In the house and ready for water and liverock.  there she goes.  and one last overhead shot. Now i just need to let her run for a bit and then its time for some ponies. ANY input or suggestions would be appreciated.

You should turn the dials into switches.

the power switch used to be my power when it was fw but i had to remove all the electrical components so i could maximize my tank size. As you can see in the pic, one of the knobs is missing because of this

Thnx for the kind words. And yes I have a tight bead of silicone around the acrylic on the t5s as well the box itself is not air tight by any means so I am nit anticipating too much moisture inside. But this is definitely something I will be monitoring.

Added a pair of banded pipefish to the tank. Brewed up a large batch of baby brine shrimp and now have them both eating. I am still going go be adding seahorses eventually but am waiting for some true captive bred from a local breeder. I am going to be enriching the brine with meds to eliminate any possible protozoans the pipes may carry. Also does anyone in Edmonton know where to get selcon to enrich the brine?
More pics soon to follow.
