I have been taking pics up until now. So far I have been spending all night (in between handing out candy) mounting and hooking up the RO/DI unit. mounted my apex controller in the stand and started on the sump. I will take an hour tomorrow and officially start my tank journal.

started making water. I will probably pre make about 90 gal (unmixed)

I kept with my original plan of 150 Gal 48 x 24 x 29 inch deep. I have heard all the precautions with the deeper tank and lighting issues but i just couldn't resist it. I will allow the "I told you so" when i start complaining months from now hahahaha

you wont have any serious issues with light , sure a lower tank would make a weaker light more useable , but once you place rock and get a decent light youll be fine for corals just place the higher demanding corals higher in the tank.
