My Sump/fuge

OK, I'm bored tongight and realized that I have never posted a pic of my fump/fuge.

My 125 is on the other side of the wall. The tank is a 45 gal tank (used to be under the stand until we moved.....and now I have a fish room).
The skimmer (ASM G4) is on the left where the inflow goes to. The output pump is on the far right (crosses over).
The fuge is in the middle. Got around 30 pounds of LS and another 30 of LR in there along with plenty of algae.
At the lower left, you can see my Ca reactor with inflow and outflow going to the skimmer chamber.
Just below the right end of the tank is my RO/DI auto topoff control unit with the control floats in the return chamber on the right. The topoff goes through the Ca reactor system so buffering is not an issue.
MH ballasts under the tank next to my bin of spare connectors (can never have too many of those)
Any questions/comments???

Better hope a fire marshall doesn't see that! :hilarious
I think that might be an accident waiting to happen with all the cords going every which-a-way.
But nice set up I'm jealous!

Actually, the outlet box on the left has two independant 15 amp grounded GFI outlets with insulated 12/2 wiring going to their own circuit breaker.

One of these days I will actually organize those cords so it looks pretty.

I do not have any of the sump/fuge setup.
