Really nice! I want to do the same thing actually. What are using as a motorized pulley?

Linear actuators. All of the credit for that goes to @Paul B for the great idea.. I asked him 1 thing and he came up with this solution....

Awesome sauce. Is that just stick on flooring on the wall or designer reclaimed wood?

Really like that look, may do my setup the same way

On the wall it is Designer reclaimed wood all different thicknesses and with such. Took a lot of boxes to mix and match the pieces that were needed.

[Deep dive coral]

Awesome looking build! Don’t know if I’ll ever be able to talk the wife into letting me go this big but your build has definitely sparked some ideas for me lol! Just saw This build and will definitely be following along!

Had some help today. Laid the ABS and wored up 3 lights. I have 2 more coming so that will be 8 xr30s for the main display.

Omg... your kids look so tiny in that tank. Too cute. That is an inspiring build. I can’t wait to build a large tank at my next house. I don’t know if I missed this but... Do you mind me asking who built the aquariums and pricing?
