Now that the tank is running I have started to install all the add-on equipment and computer controller. It's taken me 2 days to wire everything nice and I still have at least one more day to go.
The Aquatronica is already programed to accept the second power bar (Thank You Ray), one is installed in the stand and the second on the side of the canopy. I installed the controller LCD on the short side of the tank in plain view, it looks really neat.
Finally I was also able to fix the area were the old fish tank was, My wife is very happy to have that area again.
Here are some pics
Main power bar
this is the second power bar connected to the side of the canopy
this is were the controller is mounted
Kalk and Calcium reactor will be installed tomorrow.
finally the old fish tank spot is now part of the breakfast area again.

Nice.
But aren't you afraid the kids will mess with the controls?
BTW, I'm glad to see I'm not the only maniac up at this time.
Sorry, Eric, I couldn't resist a straight line like that.

I am not concern with my kids at all, they are pretty obedient when I set boundaries, however, I can't say the same for their friends, for that, I have the controller locked with a code. Nothing happens in the controller without you inputting the password first.

The time spent setting this up has been very pleasant time so far, I look forward to getting home the minute I leave to work
there was no way to run this monster with only one PB.

Your setup time has been short and work has been fairly easy, due to you already having most of the equipment and not having to build the tank/stand/canopy etc. from scratch! Some of the other folks building large tanks take months to build up what you did in a few short weeks.
Congrats! Tank is looking great! Next time iI'll over in the area I will give you a shout.

Rogger was able to purchase, the tank and stand used....none the less this tank was well thought out. He had been talking and planning this for a while.
It takes months for other people to build monster tanks but only due to most people have to wait to have the tank and stand custom built for them. Which might be considered easier since you are getting a custom build of what you want.
In a purchase like Roggers, you have to also be able to adapt to what you get. Also have you seen the plumbing job?
The plumbing was NOT over thought out. It's very simple and straight to the point... The previous plumbing was a maze and complicated. The electrical wiring was the same way.
Plus on this forum we have a pretty good group willing to help each other, which helped moving things along.

Hey Marco, you are right, this was relatively easy to set up, the previous owner did an outstanding job at building this tank.
My biggest challenge was to take it the extra mile and make it even better.
Stop by anytime you want.
