Here's an update to the project. I've since added stock and coral. We have hung a temporary light as well.

Off to a good start, what type of skimmer is that?

I like the plywood sump, brings me back to the days way back when I saw a monster custom plywood reef tank with glass front and and port hole view side.
Everything was custom including the skimmer that was almost as tall as me run by a couple big dart pumps. It also had a cat walk going around the whole tank in the fish room that took the weight of 4 large adults.
