So final touch on the setup is getting CarX online and tuck that under the stand, where in the past I had them outside next to the frag stand. It was an eye sore. And my stand couldn’t accommodate 20lb co2 tank.

beefed up RODI is full online too, waste water goes to the backyard brutes, i have 3/50g for holding and connected together. Will use those for plants and other stuff. turns out i dont need a booster pump since my water have 50+ psi all the time. maybe add it after produce water so it pulls out water faster?
I'm sure there are more, but I couldn't think of it at the moment. but those are the action items ontop of my mind.
Next on to-do
- move Carx under stand ✓
- better cable management
- better location for apex
- beef up rodi ✓
- save waste water from rodi ✓
- improving water flow for frag tank and display tank
- separate return pump for DT and FT ✓
- improve stand design for Frag tanks ✓
- add RODI feed to SW mix brute with float valve ✓

Next on to-do
- get apex online
- cleanup, put away fish gear
- connect waste water brutes
- fix minor leaks
- water change
- re-arrange corals
- glue SPS on rockwork

Noob moment since the new setup and still getting used to it.
First oops, I accidentally turn off rodi top off to the sump, thinking I’m turning off rodi feed to my salt mix brute. So salinity got bumped up to 1.27 from 1.25, no big deal, I will just let ATO fill up the water slowly and adjust back to normal salinity.
Second oops, my waste water gushed out a lot of water than normally, so I thought there’s some connection was wrongly setup. Didn’t have much time to trouble shoot it, so I just make water with same amount of waste water made for 40-50g, and tonight I finally had time to look hard into it. Turns out I had my rodi in flush mode entire time. Would that damage my membrane stage since I was flushing for a really long period of time?

sometimes you don't see the problem in your design unless you are looking at a different angle. after looking at my photos, i realized that I should relocate my pump power to the top instead of current location.
Update
Upgraded apex classic to apex el.
Alk is finally lowered to 10.4 instead of 14
