I know my ro/di pump only does 75 gallons a day and with the water quality here I think I only get like 60 gallons
Anyway, here are a few pictures! I know there are wires everywhere, but the power strips I ordered do not come in till Monday

I will now have two complete set up reef tanks in the house and I believe that the small tank will be my qt. You never know though , I may set up a third

.

Looks great! Nice and organized in the closet.
How loud is that current chiller? I keep on hearing people talk about how loud chillers are and want to find the most quiet possible for my 180.

the tank is 46 inches off the ground and sits above the back of my couches.
Those power strips come from X1up.com , they come in regular and vertical 1 foot to 6 feet in length

Talk about a conversation piece , you can put the inlaws on that couch and then pretend your listening all the while watching your tank and nodding your head.

Looks good! Post some of full tank shots please and of the pumps compartment.
I just got a adult engineer goby (9" maybe a little bigger),
yellowhead jawfish (1 1/2" maybe 2" he is just a baby) and a scooter blenny (2"-3") and final 25 hermint carbs and a few snails. Need a bigger tank that is why I am upgrading. Again looks good
