wow!

I'd be tempted to make a larger pass-through and put the uv-sterilizer and.... maybe a frag tank on the other side...

Running that much water through the wall makes me nervous. Anxiety through the roof. No way that's happening lol

And another tank will get me murdered lol

Found double gang pass throughs gonna do 2 holes just incase.

Here's under the tank and the other side. I gotta run conduit basically where the power strip cord is and down the wall. Gonna install like 8 outlets or something lol

Dude? That's what is on the other side? I would have drilled through that wall immediately. ok maybe taken me a month.... but still.

Hey everyone! Finally getting back into the hobby after being out of it for about 8 years. My last tank was a 150g reef tank that I unfortuantely got rid of. Now that I've got 2 little ones and have always enjoyed the hobby, I figured getting back into it would be something they would enjoy as...

The installation can be tricky because you have to take the doors off to install and then put them back on. I can help you through it if you decide thats what you want to do.

Super nice! I just gotta decide if I want to do that, outlets that work with Alexa, or a controller like the Hydros. I’m just fudging around and in the meantime, I’ll straighten up my cables. That’s definitely a good option!
