Let's see how it turns out Leslie, gonna take it slow again. All my live rock is still running in the bin, cured long time ago obviously as I used it on my previous tank, but never the less, still gonna wait at least 1-2 months for everything to stabilize before starting to add livestock.

How much water do your RO chamber hold?
Rest of setup looks good.

Put all the equipment under the stand









I also treated the plywood that's going under the tank with exterior marine sealant.



Still need to do all the wiring and the plumbing when the tank comes. Can't wait

Coming along nicely Tobes, what's the reactor on the left of the kalk reactor, is it for phosphate?

Thanks Dean. You talking about the small greenish one in the centre? If yes, it is a Eheim reactor that I'll be using for phos
The far left one is for carbon and the other one like you mentioned for kalkwasser.
