A little update on my progress.
I decided to take a brake from reefscaping for a few days. Beetwen work, family and college I find it hard to concentrate on building a nice reefscape.
I have been working on upgrading my rodi water station. I upgraded the ro from 4 stage to 6 and added an extra membrane and booster pump. I got to give credit to BRS as I used their instructional videos for help. The ro water production has jumped to 1:1 water/concentrate ratio an I now make 5 gallon of 0 TDS in 41 minutes... mayor diference from 1:4 and 5 gallons in about 4 hours; I am very pleased with the results. As far as the tanks I went with two 55 gal Duracast tanks, I got to say, they fit perfectly in the little space I have, now to explain to the wife why is the laundry full of equipment...I hoping she is having a good day at work because I have to brake the news to her tonight [emoji55]. Anyway, I do need to work on a manifold for this set up. I was thinking of basic plumbing with a pump to transfer between tanks and to mix in salt. Any ideas are welcome.

Welcome to R2R!!!
nice looking build! Welcome to R2R and thank you for your service 
After putting the reefscape in the back burner for a while...because honestly I was getting fustrated, I think I got a nice looking scape for the first time. Whats your guys honest opinion? Please let me know if the scape is R2R worthy.

Honestly, I think it is very good. Good caves, swim throughs and depth overall. I am biased because I personally enjoy two structures. My suggestion would be to make a little more difference in height.

Hello GluGlu, I'd hate to continuously dismantle tanks repeatedly too. I would probably regress to a fishbowl in that situation 
Anyhow, good luck with the new one
