amazing build! while I know I cant do the amazing job that you have done, you have inspired me to start working on cleaning up my wiring/sump area. No more rats nest. Thanks for that and keep up the fantastic work!

Thank you mr.wilson but you are the architect of one of the nicest reef tanks in history imho.
My first 3 tanks were nothing but rats nests
. Once you get it clean though man it makes a big difference.I was going to get it tomorrow
but I am behind lol.. My stand will be at my house tomorrow though so that is a start. I have quite a few things still to do but I do not need it in my shop to finish it.I am excited to get the tank on the stand and start the finishing. I hope next Friday the 19th but we will see. ( I hate waiting for things).

A mix of Hanley and some US LED with a mix of some low profile stuff I was testing out... All in All 3-4 different types.. I am also using 100w duel drivers so 4x 50W 12v 1.0a drivers.
The overall cost of doing the led work as show is cost prohibitive to be honest.
Pic's are going to be posted soon
we decided at the last minute to re do are outdoor patio to a "living space" this is now done! and back to the tank

Ridiculously awesome, this is.
Love your build!
How about those 3 led clusters that you added under the front lip of the stand? How are they working and what model are they?

We are starting to look good
I still have a lot of work ahead of me to get this done. I have yet to start the right side of the tank but can do this without the need of the stand in my shop. I am excited to get this tank up and running as I miss having a reef tank.
So I decided to add some under lighting
I also started to see how the plumbing in this build would work.
Next up was extending the leads for my Tunze 3155 ATO.
Some red accent strips.
Now came the hose and wire management.
Fancy
Also had time to put the backer on the dosing container holding nook
Here are some shots of the stand as of today, I hope you enjoy!
Is that your work or your house? Either way I am jealous of the tools/work area.

So that shop is actually for work and not just your hobbies?
