Hello from Peotone

I picked up a Rio 2500 this weekend along with the tubing and clamps. So I can mark that off my list. Yesterday I ordered my RO/DI unit from Marine Depot, should be here by Friday.
Looks like everything is coming together just fine with getting the needed equipment.
On a side note I talked to my brother who is taking down his 300gal reef tank and he said he would give me a Neptune controller, New Skimmer and new Chiller and some other things along with all his live rock (he had, a boat load in that tank, all from Hawaii) if I wanted it. Wow what a score there. Only thing is I dont know where Im gonna store all the rock.
 
I put the tank on my stand in its final resting spot in the livingroom, I placed the canopy on it to see how it is going to look. I like how it turned out so far (painting the back that is),
Now I just need to get the rocks and hook everything up and I can start a cycle (well as soon as I get my RO/DI unit and salt). Hopefully by Sunday I can start filling it up.
I took pictures of the tank but Im not sure if anyone wants to see pictures of it since I dont have lights or anything in it yet.
 
Looks like I have to start over, my tank isnt level from front to back so everything is coming down (not that I have anything in it yet) and I am going to rip the carpeting out where the tank is going to go and lay tile down so i have a level starting point.
Heres pictures of the tank, stand and canopy before I checked it for level

And heres one with a level on top of the canopy (thats 60 cents under the level)

Thanks Lil BamBam, Its work in progress, This weekend I will be moving the tank so I can start cutting the carpeting out to lay the tile.
Maybe next week I can put it back and start assembling it. I should get my RO/DI system and salt on Friday so I have to get my Brute cans and start making water. This is gonna be an adventure.
 
Well its been 3 weeks since I was in an accident and I finaly got around to laying the tile down. I have been out of commision because my back is sprained from the impact.
Anyways, with the tile down I have to tak the carpeting back down and then I can start setting my tank up. This is going to be fun but I am taking my time.
