So this is the main tank at the entrance to the home met thinks. Where are the rest of the tanks and all the critters located? You have a specific area as a "tank room"?
MORE PICTURES FOLKS!!!!!
Renee at the risk of sounding like your parent...........take care of your teeth and your teeth will take care of you!

Heh, my teeth have betrayed me.
This is actually the inner room between the kitchen and the TV room.
The tank room, I guess, is the garage. Then there's still 2 tanks in the front room and every bedroom (4) has a tank in it. There's also one in the TV room itself.
Plumbing plans will commence tomorrow after the water changer arrives.

This is the box that will contain the pumps and sump. We are having an awning installed over the set of windows over the box, so temperature won't be an issue.

Have NOT decided on the lights yet. T5s or LEDS, can't decide. There's a particular set of LEDs I like, the Maxspect Mazarra P-Series, but will have to see how people end up hanging these. The hanging brackets are pretty hideous.

Going with the Neptune Controller. I have the Reefkeeper Elite and some accessories, but they ticked me off and now I don't even want to use it!

It's always fun to get a package.

I just got mine (apex) - the more I play with it (figure it out) the more I like it! It's complex though - but will do anything.

That's the model we are going with. Should have bought it in the first place and then I would't be out 800.

So glad to see this moving again! I've missed reading this thread.

We ditched the deck box and bought a 6' x 6-1/2' deck shed. This will house everything.

 

[meowzer]

Looks like you will have more room too

 

[cranberry]

We were having a hard time figuring out where to put everything. Problem solved. Now we don't have to buy a new shorter sump, but can use the old 60g. The chiller will fit in there, the big ole skimmer and both of the 50g water drums for the auto water changer/top off.

 

[novahobbies]

And.... It locks, yes? It's incredible how stupid and mean some people can be. Would hate to see a "prank" kill off all your wonderful pets in this tank... :-(

 

[cranberry]

Yes, it locks. And we also just got a new fence/gate that locks.
Next comes the video surveillance

 

[cranberry]

The shed will be delivered Saturday! Yay!

 

[meowzer]

YIPPPEEEEE.....

 

[cranberry]

It's here!

 

[meowzer]

YAYYY...Don't forget pictures
