Thanks, It has been a fun project and frustrating at times. Once i get the heat problem under control I'll be home free.
I know a chiller would be nice for sure. I think I'll get the rigid foam insulation used on metal garage doors and an exhaust fan in the pump box...

Geoff, Any updates on the tank?
Started the tank cycle today. I"ll take the parameters in the morning then update the thread each week with the results.
I'll let someone else answer the question about adding live rock. I am not sure but I'm moving in my live rock after the cycle.
You need to use a hole saw. Just take it slow so you don't melt the acrylic. That was what i did for all 13 bulkheads in my tank and sump. Just make...
In my 240 gallon build I just finished filling the tank with Ro water premixed with salt. I used 120 pounds of live sand and all base rock. I usually...
