Found them through the AI facebook page, cost seems to be about 100$ more per unit than the SOL, and yes my "temp" fix for this tank will be my 2 current HOT5 fixtures end to end on top of the tank.

Well I managed to get the top and back onto the stand tonight, and start some of the electrical.
These plugs will be controlled by 1 switch and will be for my lighting system, so this way I have 2 plugs will both have a main on/off switch in case I need to turn the lights off for whatever reason. Later this week I start the other feed which will power the pumps and powerheads.

Well its been almost a full year and its just sat in the living room collecting dust...so this past week I have really started to do something with it. Deadline for it to be setup and ready for fish is June as the wife and I are expecting a little boy in early August. I want this setup and going so its less stress when that day arrives. (Also might help de-stress sometimes lol)
Filled the tank with sand, and some base rock. Purchased 3 LED Units (Evergrow d120's) and have hung them over the tank (removed one fixture temp to hang over the older tank) Started the plumbing, I was going to use PVC pipe but I ended up going with flex just because it was faster, the overflow pipes are still PVC but only because I happened to have some left over from a previous tank. Also plan on finishing the electrical this weekend. Sorry about pic quality its just an iPhone  Loose fit on over flow plumbing.  Flex pipe on 3/4" returns  Flex fitting into the bulk head  Full Tank Shot  Full Tank Shot with LED's on 100% blue and white  Full Tank Shot LED's 100% White Only  Edit: the skulls on the tank are from halloween  they just looked neat so onto the glass they went.

Just got a new return pump today, and I can not be more pleased with it. I bought the Speedwave DC 1320. Also known as the Waveline dc-5000, its adjustable up to 1320g/h (at 0 head) along with a 10min feed button which shuts the pump off for 10min during feeding then restarts. The pump also has a soft start which mean it slowly ramps up to its set speed so its not turning on full power right away.
I did a test with in and its silent to the point I had to check the water was actually moving. Also NO LEAKS! so now all I need is some heaters and the tank can start being filled and cycled....wow so close to finishing this!  I also got a few new frags and 3 bubble tips when I bought the pump. 1 sun coral frag with about 3-5 heads which is currently in another small tank being feed so no pictures yet.
