Well painted the stand, painted my sump, and had some fun in the attic. Installed the ATI hanging kit. I used a 12" steel bar and through bolted it. Then went it attic and placed bolt through hole. Then I used a black sprinkler tube as conduit to bring USB and 1/4" water lines to my tank from my fish room. This way I can hook a ATO and AWC for the tank.

Nice! Love the bar and the scape. Can't wait to see this come together!
 
So I have been processing around 30ml of ammonia in about 10-12 hours.
First dose took 48 hrs
2nd dose took 36hrs
3rd 24 hrs
4th 18hrs
5th 12hrs
6th 10hrs
I think I'm good with that. So I'm going to run some water test and see where I stand on everything. I'm thinking fish on Monday. I have 1 rabbit fish, 1 magnificent foxface , 1 tomini tang and 4 clowns going in. They have been isolated for 3 weeks and medicated for 7 days just for extra precautions.
 
I absolutely love this tank! The whole room is great!
 
Can you grab some more shots of the room and tank in a larger image so I can share?
 
Ran all my ATO lines AWC lines and USB to my water station outside. 150ft away. What a pain in the butt to keep all lines tangle free. I am glad it's all over. Now I need to hook up my apex.
