[Below Radar]

That skimmer tucked in the corner is MASSIVE.

It could double as a cylinder aquarium. This build is awesome. Love to check it out in person one day. What part of Houston is this?
Oh yeah, BTW, SUBSCRIBED!!!

Awesome! *subscribed*

Each two outlets are on their own circuit to keep any short or fault from cutting everything off. The filter room is the same way.

I will have to post the live rock build later... stay tuned

If your panel is under the aquarium, please build a drip plate/shield out of plexi-glass and place over the panel and receptacles just incase you leak water. Very nice build

 

[AQUA DAVE]

We have a pan in place under the aquarium to prevent dripping and another pan under the support as well

Very nice! Love how many big builds there are in Houston and surrounding areas these days.
Can't wait to see more..

I love everything about your aquarium. How do you like the MRC build quality?

WOW! Looks like you built your house around the tank! I can't imagine the pre planning that went into this!

Epic is an overused word but I believe it's appropriate here.
