First reef tank 75g

I'm new to the forum and a first time reefer. Here's what I have so far-
80lbs of live rock I've had curing for 5 weeks, so far, with weekly water changes.
75 gallon DT which I installed an overflow in.
29 gallon sump
Reef octopus 200 int skimmer
Reef keeper lite
750 dc return pump
A small 700 aqueon powerhead that I'm using for flow in the container the rock is curing in. I plan to get a couple more adequately sized ones, I'm just not sure what yet.





I guess I don't have any more recent pics of the stand I'm building. I'll be finishing up the doors and starting to stain tonight. The bump up on the end was originally to accommodate the skimmer, so I could put it on a stand and run the water higher in the first chamber. Now I'm planning on the Triton method so I moved the skimmer to the second chamber. That space will now be used for ato tank. I think it will be a gravity fed drip with a float back up for now.

After this stand is done I can put the baffles in the sump and plumb and wire everything. Not too much longer.
