I'd run the line from some sort of reservoir fed by the unit rather than straight from unit to tank. The first few seconds your unit kicks on trash water is pushed through the good water line. A customer of mine had his tank setup that way for years and always had high nitrates. I'll try to find the article I read explaining it..

That looks really nice, stand looks alot like mine, you could park a tank on that thing. What are your plans for the tank, SPS, mixed reef, fresh water :) you can tell us, they don't charge by the work on this forum :)

The pic of the old tank, that angle makes it look like a 200g tank.
