I don't actually even have the tank yet, but have been thinking of doing this for years. I would always come up with reasons for not pulling the trigger, but now that I am a couple of years from retirement, it's time to make it a reality. I have just recently purchased some Marco Base and Shelf Rock and I am starting to make a Negative Space Aquascape. Once I am far enough along with that, then I will purchase my RODI. Soon after that I will purchase my tank (Waterbox Frag 105.4 w/XR15 Blue Lights) and the pump. I plan on running the system for a while before I get my Skimmer, HOB Refugium, waver makers, etc. Doing it right is more important for me than doing it quickly. Plus I have to show the wife I can start something and see it through to the finish without getting frustrated and saying "Screw it, good enough". Well that's me, now back to being a Lurker.
