Here are a few pics of the initial steps. Stand was initially white and tank had internal overflow. I decided to paint stand black and drill tank for Synergy reef overflow.

Finished plumbing and changed up electrical! I like how it turned out. Also, if you are considering the Elite Aquatics rollermat sump and have a skimmer larger than a Vertex Omega 150, you might need to think again. Skimmer section is TIGHT! Also started programming everything on Apex Fusion.
