lol. I'm glad i don't have the problems your having. All i have to do is run a wire 30 feet and call it a day. Plumbing will be easy too. Its all right there at my fingertips.
55 beers!! I'd be in a coma 
Oh yea Im hating all this non- essential wiring and crap. I should take some pics so you can get the scope of the issues at hand but I never think of it. Besides, pics just document my laziness more than progress lol.
Ill be so much better off when I do this though I just have to keep that in mind. I could get away without doing what Im doing but that would make all my filtering and electircal jumbled up under my stand and I absolutely refuse to be hunched down climbing around in there doing maintenance. Thats my trouble now. I hate it. If I take what I have now add more equipment to it and scale everything to a 290 gal tank 90 gal fuge and a 40 gal QT. all under a cabinet Ill go insane.
No room. I gotta do this or I might as well not bother at all. Im basically laying a good foundation for a dedicated fish room out in my garage. I just dont have enough electrical where the tank is going to "Safely" plug in all the equipment.. Now I could string about 4 extension chords and do the job but that will look nasty. Or as Stacker says "Ghetto" lol.
Then the plumbing is just relocating the pumps from the stand closer to the fuge and the return lines. I plan on running an Ocean Motion 4-way C.L. too so I may keep a pump under the stand for that and run the return and the skimmer out in the garage. Heat is going to be my biggest concern but If I do everything I plan too Im just gonna T-off a vent from the AC into my room out in the garage and that should do it.
My garage is allready insulated except for gargage door which can easily be done in the future but it stays fairly cool in there now compared to the outside.
Before I can get to the meat and taters of the whole thing I have a ventilation system in my garage for painting. I have to climb up and remove the stack and Im gonna replace that with a solar powered roof vent. Take the juice from that and run it down the wall to power my pumps. Then Im building a SS hood vent relocating the ventilation system to the back of the house in my screened room for a outdoor kitchen hood. After that I want to replace the powered roof vent in the back of my house with a solar one and use the juice from that to run the vented hood Im building.
Its alot of work in the attic.. Im in no hurry to do all this but its started so I got a leg up on it. Id like to do the bulk of the work this winter when its cool up there. I can do 90% of the work in a days time but not when its this hot up there. hardest thing will be re-installing the vent system. All this and I havent got the tank yet eithier. As far as the 55 beers,.....thats a tolerance that takes years to build up lol...I boast no other great achievements worth posting lol..
