Peter,

Normally I don't post on build threads as my limited experience pales in comparison to most of the members around here. However, one interesting occurrence seems to consistently present itself with this thread. As you post pictures as graphic and roughed in as you may think they are, these pictures tend to lend the most insight into your build. I shutter at missing the opportunity to see the plumbing behind the walls even if it just straight pipe.

A picture is worth a thousand words and has typically sparked may good dialogs here. I use your air return over the tank as the example, numerous comments and suggestions and what ifs were presented with such a simple picture of metal fastened to a ceiling. Plus everyone loves pictures.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your thread and I am proud that Canada has been marked on the international reef forum scene by your build. I was redirected to your thread, initially, while following a large build in the UAE as someone suggested to read your thread as a reference point. Pretty cool.

PS. Thank God, its finally time for the 3 and half weeks of summer to begin! LOL!

Take care.

walloutlet, I very much appreciate the sentiments expressed in you post. I can connect with your feelings as they are remarkably similar to my experience on the first encounter with Chingchai's thread. The real receipients however are the whole community surrounding this experience. This is and continues to be a positive energizing experience for all of us. I thank you for being a part of this and welcome to the group.

I hope to maintain the same ambience in the fish room except with more of a CSI Miami look and feel.

Am I the only one who noticed that teddy bear just looking right at you while you sit on the toilet???? it reminded me of those creepy dolls. Peter if you ever have a show and tell of your tank, I'll be using a different bathroom LOL maybe even the garden will do.
 
No updates for 30 hours? What are we supposed to do with ourselves?? I do look forward to this thread getting back into some of the great reef discussions that have happened in the past. I know you guys all love golf and billiards, but lets see that fish room!
 
With all of the things going into this room, something that you might consider would be some environmental monitoring equipment. Although they market to the I.T. field, Avtech makes a line of monitors for flood, temperature, humidity, etc.. You could use the flood cable modules underneath the main tank and the MARS units. If you plan on having the HVAC above the display tank always moving air, there are air flow detectors that could be put into the duct. The units also have a series of contacts that can be connected to the generator to alert when you are on backup power, or to monitor any number of other devices. Here's a link to the main page http://avtech.com/
 
This is the most amazing and enjoyable thread I have ever followed. Thank you and Mr Wilson for the insight, education and enjoyment this is providing.
 
I hope you haven't already gone over this, for some it's a touchy subject on forums. If you don't mind, may I ask you what you do for a living?

rodsaw, there are a number of systems that are in place to cover most if not all the items you have noted. I won't detail them here as I will have a whole chapter devoted to the active monitoring of the entire ecosystem including HD webcams to enlist members from this community in support of those efforts.

muttley, I know how you feel but do not panic there is a significant update coming. The activities over the next two weeks will be as actioned packed as the tank arrival in the beginning! The ongoing dialog will heat up with some of the items still to be resolved in the fish room. I can say however that the progress in the last couple of days has been very exciting for me on several fronts.............More on this reeeeeely soon. Thanks for your patience.

Hello Peter,

Just been reading through all of the new products being released this year at InterZoo 2010 and noticed these "little powerheads" from Tunze and thought you might enjoy taking a glance at them.

Thanks to the people from Reef******** for reporting on all these new and exciting products!
