I figured since i got my lighting i would update the equipment ill be using for this build :) I will be going BB initially to see how i feel about it. i figured if i absolutely hate it, i can always add sand later on :) This will be fully hard plumbed system. i will be adding an ATO at a later date once i figure out a more efficient way of delivering fresh rodi water to my system.

Glad to see you went with the 125. You'll be very happy with the size, and that cabinet and canopy look really nice, too!

Got the sump back From Will, great work at a great price! thanks again!

I also filled the tank, added 4 gallons of vinegar to it and letting it dissolve all the calcium buildup. working quite nicely. once i repaint the inside of the stand, ill have to drain the tank, and drop in the sump. run everything with vinegar solution for a day to clear all the lines of debris and crud. My LR should be in this week and hopefully by this weekend i should be live :D

Any suggestions on easy/efficient ways of filing a tank with RO/DI Saltwater would be greatly appreciated :) (other than the bucket by bucket method..)
