VERY nice! I love triggers, but the "reef safe"-ness of even the more docile species always leaves me a little concerned. There is a good artice on it in the AFM that just came out.
I hope it works out well for you.. that is one big and beautiful fish. It has to love the long tank for pacing back and forth.

Gotta have some deco in the fish room:
Main power cabinet....named R4-K5, which for you Star Wars fans, was Darth's black droid.....it was Kaden's idea. :strooper: This cabinet was one of those stereo cabinets that I painted black. It has a clear glass door that closes, which you can see on the left side.
There are three seperate control feeds, each having it's own 20Amp dedicated circuit. Lights, Circulation and Filtration.
The top switch control (above all the timers) is the lighting control. Each blue switch controls a single timer. This includes all 4 halides, the T5 Actinics and the LED Moonlights.
The other switch controls have individual switches for each device that's plugged in. Heaters, feeder pumps for the skimmer, CA reactor and I~Aquatic reactor, etc...
The bottom switch controls all four Tunze Stream pumps.
In the middle is the Tunze 7095 Controller, American Marine (Pinpoint) Wireless Temp monitor, which scrolls through temps in the Display tank, sump and change water tank. The current reading is for the change water tank. To the right of that is the Milwaukee pH Controller, which isn't hooked up yet.
Just below the Tunze 7095 controller is the Auto-Top Off controller.
To the right of that, are the three main shut off switches. One for lighting, Circulation and Filtration. Each switch will shut off the switch controller that it powers. So basically, if you shut off all three of these switches, the entire power system to the tank shuts off in 1 - 2 seconds. Hopefully we won't ever have to do this, but it's a fast system shut down if the need should arise.
I'm still in the process of using zip ties to tidy up the back so it looks nice.

We had our 11th year Wedding Anniversary a couple days ago. This year, per the contemporary/traditional list of Anniversary gifts was steel. We started to do this list as it's fun from year to year.
Anyway, thanks also in part to all the LOSER...did I mention ABSOLUTE LOSER weather guys, who we'll call LOSERS, from every major (LOSER) station in this fine metro area that forecasted major tornado outbreaks and power outages in Milwaukee....spawned an early steel anniversary gift:
So bring it on!!!
:beer:
