Tank looks great. I really like the open look of the rockwork.

I had a great surprise when i came home today! My reactor return line jumped out of the sump either last night or while i was at work today and dropped about 30 gallons of water out of the system. All my pumps and stuff seem to be ok, and my waterproofed silicone tray saved me. I am really glad i put that drained tray into this build, it saved my floors

Wow! I began to read that post and was thinking "oh no, what a mess" and then what a relief to see your failsafe. Wow! the rest of us would have been cleaning up floors!
When I finally build/buy my next house, we are going to do a large in wall setup also. I will definitely copy your silicone tray!

this is one cool build!!! I have been in and out of SWF for years , but all that eq. and plumbing freaks me out! i don't know how you guys do all of that stuff
That set-up looks like someone who does that for a living built it! It is totally amazing! I hope one day when I build one it looks half as good as yours

I am really glad I did not have to clean up my mess
I did have to make 30 gallons of salt water though
, and for those who might wonder, I did secure the inlet and outet lines into the sump with airline suction cups.
