Well I'm almost done with the stand, just gave to sand it once and apply one last coat and I think the painting will be done.
For doors I went to IKEA and ordered doors, so those will be added shortly. I've also bought a BK Mini180 gen3 to run the system, instead of the Vertex Omega 150. Nothing wrong with the Omega, just wanting to try a BK and I really liked the cup removal on this skimmer along with the small footprint... that should arrive next week some day.

Slowly coming along.
Got the sand in last night and was extremely surprised just how clean this sand was  Added all 90lb with the return and power-head on and there was barely any sand storms. I used 2*30lb Tropic Eden Reef Mini-flakes and one 30lb bag of Tropic Eden Reef Flakes bags I was hoping to get my rock in, but wife wants to go shopping today  Never thought I'd run a BK, but since I got the BK mini 180(should arrive tomorrow possibly today) I decided to pull the plug and get a neck cleaner, so I went with a swabbie DYI from Avast Marine as I was really impressed with my Avast Vibe reactor. This will arrive in about week or two.

Aquascaping time. I've never worked with pukani rock and I must admit its amazingly light, super porous and easy to work with. Thanks Eli @Fijirock
Used fijicrete to bind the rocks together.  I'm not artistic at all and I think I could have done better, but this is what I've come up with for now:  Left side:  Right Side:

7 days and ill be adding some cleanup crew14 days and ill be adding one fish and my surviving zoas I'm running Zeovit so the tank should be cycled really fast, not to mention I've had the rocks in water since April Been running lots of GFO and skimming off them, I'm actually curious to see what type of bacterial bloom i will encounter. Jess's rocks had some bacterial bloom but wasn't too bad considering those rocks were once live and have quite a bit of dye off. Now i need a fish trap and need to get some pods in there... I'm concerned about my mandarin as the tank wont have pods... good part is shes frozen trained so she likes mysys
