So I finally decided on my lighting for the build. I went with the Maxspect razor. For now I just bought one to try it out but I will be getting a second and hanging them both instead of using the arms.
    It's a beautiful light! Very bright and nice design. There seems to be a lot of "disco" going on though because I have a pretty strong current. Thoughts on how to get rid of this?

Disco fever will diminish the higher up you go as colors spread wider and converge. I have mine 14" above the surface and peak at 90%.

 Nice build so far. I can't wait to see the livestock part start to come together. As for your skimmer troubles, any closer photos you can provide us? The other thing is maybe your skimmer isn't skimming anything because there is nothing to skim.

so i came upon new skimmer issues.. well i guess i should say pump issues. my danner mag 7 pump keeped tripping my gfi.. so rather than trying to fix things i resolved everything by purchasing this:
 This thing works like a hot damn! special thanks to paul and albert at oceanic for getting it to me so quickly! i decided to get two smaller 120w maxspect razor lights rather than the 160w. fits much better and couldnt be happier with their performance. heres what the tank looks like now!    still have a bit of wiring to clean up but i'm loving it! cant wait to get some more livestock in there now

Hey guys its been awhile and I feel the need to post an update (also I've been pestered to do so haha!)
For the longest time my tank was basically this:      And for awhile I was mostly satisfied, but was unable to keep any LPS or SPS. Although I attempted many times to correct what was killing them, and even purchased an RO/DI unit, nothing seemed to help. Eventually I became bored of the tank and discouraged as I could not get any of the cool stuff I wanted. I also began to work a lot more and became too tired to do much maintenance.. Things began to die  Until Albert and Tyler came to the rescue and totally helped me revamp my tank and get me back in the game! Today my tank looks like this: (unfortunately the camera on my new phone is no where near as good as my old phone sorry for the quality reduction)              It has a lot of growing out to do still but we're seeing amazing results even in just a few short weeks. My rock structure also looks incredible and I am finally able to start getting the corals I want. Motivation totally has returned
