Looks awesome man good job

Couple questions about pic number three
What’s the 1/4 line manifold next to the rodi filter?

Also do you trust the power supply you are using? I had one and removed it as the internet is filled with horror stories of it catching on fire

Also in the last picture is that a turbo on your hot water heater?

Truly jealous

The 1/4" manifold goes to float valves in ATO containers and the mixing station so I cant accidentally flood my house again

. It also has a valve to fill buckets with. Worked out great.

APC power backups are great and use them on servers quite often. I use the EcoTech battery backups for my "true" power protection and have a generator ready to go.

Its no a Turbo but is needed as my hot water tank is to far from the edge of my house. This pumps the air out over long distances.

I am happy with my choice the last tank was fun to build but not piratical.

This is a power backup?

Can you turn your lights up more. I am interested in these lights but that looks a little dark to me. Love the tank and build, exceptional

I’ve just read through this start to finish - absolutely next level build bro!

Why are you considering changing the lights? Are they full power here?

Thank you! I will have a update soon.. Just got back from a extended vacation in Las Vegas

As for the lights I like the software.. The Orphek are amazing but the software is lacking... It works but could be done better. IMO

Very nice @Elder1945! I am jealous of your vacation. I wanted to ask what lights are you considering going to ? Is it going to be a single type of light or can we expect a Hybrid set up from you ? Like MH/T5 or LED / T5 ?
