Oh and picked this up today. Thanks Blue Fish Aquariums.
 
That overflow though... :)

I agree but I want this super close to the wall. I almost ordered the undrilled one but since this will be seen from the side too I didn’t want exposed plumbing. I’ll glue gsp to it maybe

Doors are still drying but I’m super happy with how it turned out so far

Wires behind wall now. Water change drain, new saltwater and top off lines ran. Also some wire to control pump and drain solenoid valves for I choose to use one. Just need to seal up the sleeve and I’m one step closer
 
Almost there. Waiting on a few things. Got everything wired for easy wc. Grey pipe is to drain for wc. I can control drain solenoid and refill pump from the stand.

About 5 gallons short of completely filling sump. Oh well. Mixing more ro/di and thru a heater in display to get temp up
 
It’s filled and running. Bottle of bacteria added. Temp and salinity stabilized. I’ll add some of the rock from the bio cube tonight and keep dosing bacteria daily for a week or so just for insurance. I’ve done transfers this way in the past with no issues but still crossing my fingers. May put the evil blue chromis in tonight as well. I’ll keep an eye on ammonia etc and add prime or pull the chromis if needed.
