A few updated pics....

Figured I would throw some more updated pictures up. I managed to get my Reefanatic ATO installed and running. One of THE best things I have added to the tank. I built a small shelf for the aqualifter and a slightly larger shelf for the RO container. I coated both in resin before throwing on 2 coats of gloss enamel. This is a before pic checking out how they would work and look. I mounted the float brackets using Weldon 16 (Thanks MBG75!) to the sump. I did not trust the suction cup mounts and being as the sump is acrylic it worked out perfectly. When the shelves were ready I put everything in place. I worked on cleaning up the mass of wires and although it's better I'm still not 100% happy with it and will be redoing it soon! Just waiting till I order my RKL Deluxe.

Finally a shot of my BEAST of a skimmer. This thing is REDICULOUS!. I have no livestock in the tank to speak of but have added about 25 lbs of cured LR over the last 4 days. This is how it looks 3 days after it settling in and tuned. What an AMAZING skimmer!

The setup is looking great Bobby!!

It was nice to finally meet you the other night. To think of how close we live to each other and how many years we have known each other through various forums and haven't got together before is crazy.
I looked for you before I left the other night but couldn't find you.
