Thanks! Same here! I have always enjoyed the build as much as the reef keeping. ;Smuggrin

Honestly I’m ready for the Dining room to look normal again. I need “caution under construction” tape set up till I’m done. ;Woot

Steady progress.
Love it so far.

Time to kick it into high gear. Big shout out to my wife! Heavy lifting done.

More wires to hide. Time to break some rock!
AKA Hammer time.

 

[Jgerm]

Oh yeah! Got the color matched sock silencers in today.

 

[Jgerm]

Gotta hide the wires. Can’t have a rats nest going on behind the scenes.

 

[Jgerm]

Ok much cleaner. Still a work in progress but it’s getting there.
Just need to put my control board together.

[Jgerm]

Just a tad bit OCD

Lookin good!

Appreciate it!

 

[Jgerm]

Almost forgot the leak detection sensors!

There will be one behind each small cube as well.

The zip ties are nice for organization. Up until you need to remove something for maintenance. I quit using them for that reason.

I agree 100%! That is why it is just the heaters and manifold pump wire. I use Velcro wraps for everything else.

More wires run. Testing the light shades. These will definitely do the Job and keep from blinding us when sitting on the couch.

The control board for pumps, lights, and temp is in its first stage. I have some ideas to add some acrylic to it and make it much cleaner. Got to get water in the tank first though.

Today we have been gluing main plumbing. Rather than going on a long rant of how to do this properly I will just say make sure you mark all your fittings in 2 spots so they line up correct. 38 glue joints in just my manifold.
