Here is mine.
I noticed you have air lifters for your dosing, how are you controlling them?

Thanks. I have a 60g cube, so my stand has about a 24x24x18 internal dimension with a 15g sump. Only by doing serious wire management in there, could I get a sump, CA Reactor, BP Reactor, Carbon/GFO reactor,skimmer, 3g top off jug, and all of the controller and pump gear under the hood. That was simply a necessity. However, it does make maintenance a bit easier.

As much as I enjoy the symbiotic relationships of the coral, fish and other inhabitants of the reef tank, the sheer beauty of a reef display and the chemistry... The electrical and plumbing... or engineering is probably my favorite part... it allows me to use a lot of may talents to make and maintain something so serene. (note: not an engineer)
lol Me too! Thanks
I use the RKL on a timer at night and use an airline adjuster to control the drip.
I am still working on mine tonight... I get home from work and I put in about 5 to 6 hours straight on this project and its ******* the wife off. I seriously put too many redundancies in for my own good.

I love it!!! cant wait to see!!
Thank you for the encouragement! I actually need as much as I can get. It's nothing crazy. It's just jam packed into my stand's side as neatly as I could possibly do. When I get home... it's game on.
For some odd reason, wifey doesn't understand why I need my aquarium to be wireless and the ability to control 10 different colors at once using my cell phone. Psssh. What does she know?

tagging along . . my wife just noticed the power strips (3 in total) supporting my reef (which is 3 years old).
I also need some ideas in hiding the wires.
Kinda like an "out of sight, out of mind" solution to appease the wife. LOL:angel:

Thats how I got away with who knows how much $$ I've spent on this set up... I just got the axe on "Fish Stuff" after bringing home a seasons greetings frag this afternoon... How do I tell her I still have a doser coming from Hong Kong... I guess it's easier to ask forgiveness then permission :angel:
Who me?? I've been called that before :tongue:

With time, that will eventually look like what mine did before I made myself do something about it
