HMMMM i only ordered 2 AI's. I will give that a shot first. Which way do you have them mounted???
I am going to mount them long ways (opposite the way that you see them mounted on the AI rail)
How close do you have yours to the water??? seems pretty close.
Ok that made me feel better!
Do you use them with the AI Controller? Do you set your own mode or use the Lunar Cycle mode??
Well today, I installed my RO/DI and proud to report that I am getting 0 TDS water out just as I should.
I also painted the back of the tank. I really like how the black looks. The covered overflow is a big plus also. I may actually go with solid black sand also...
I only wish that the AI's came in Black instead of silver. Maybe I will have to build some sort of frame for them out of black acrylic. We will see

Looks good! 
We have a 57g rimless as well, we have two AI's which are hung from the ceiling and controlled with the AI controller.
We set up our 57g in august. We have had some bleaching with a few lps corals we put on the sandbed directly underneath the fixture. . . Be smarter than us and don't do that
We have the lights ramped up to 60% at the moment (I believe) and I think we are getting good coverage with the two fixtures over the 57g. The great thing about AI is that if you want to add a third fixture down the line, it is easy
Good luck with your new tank, looking forward to following along!

Exactly!!! I don't know when I am actually going to get it running. I am ordering my pump tomorrow and have to get rock, but have not decided on where or what kind yet. Tomorrow I am going to buy glass for my sump, i just got my Skimmer last night!

What kind of pump? I haven't fired my new one up yet but I can't wait! They're suppposed to be dead silent. I went with the Sicce Syncra 5.0, same as Brian.
I'm still looking at rock too. Maybe we can coordinate, get a little bit of a break on shipping. I know Brian is looking at a place called Aquaroche for his. I haven't looked into it yet (actually, I am at this very moment) but from what he said it looked pretty interesting.

Well today I drilled the sump, went very easy and quickly with no problems. I drilled 2 holes which will be used for return pump (second hole used only for water changes).
Here is a pic of the sump with the baffles and then with the holes drilled. I also included next a video of the hole being drilled to show that it really is pretty easy to do.

Nice job on the holes. The only suggestion I'd make for future drilling would be to place a towel or something inside the tank to cushion the falling cutout disk. I couldn't tell if you did that or not, but it didn't look like it. I've heard people having problems where the falling disk cracked the glass panel it landed on.
