My 540G Inwall Display Build Thread

What are your plans for your RO discharge water? That will be a lot of H2O send down the sink (especially in AZ)?

Glad you asked. I will be upgrading the RO unit to a 1 to 1 or better then I will be running the waste water to some holding tanks outside that are hooked up to a garden hose to water my plants. No wasting here. :thumbsup:

Looks great. Cant wait to see it done!

Some minor progress shots from last weekend. Got the sink put into the small closet like room next to the tank. The only purpose for this sink and counter is for washing up before putting my hands in the tank and preping frags coming out of the QT and going into the display. $100 (already had the sink from the demo)

^ Thanks! Due to the holidays and work I have made minimal progress in the past few weeks. But I think the next 4-6 weeks will be very productive. I have all my electrical stuff to get power over to the shed and have interviewed a few carpenters and expect to sign up with one for all the wood work around the tank this coming week. I have also ordered a lot of smaller parts (pumps, dosers, ect) needed to get this wrapped up. Hopefully my next update will show some major progress.

LMK how that goes. I need someone to make some skins that match my current skins for my frag tank stands that will house my sump, and other misc equipment since I cant go all-out and knock out walls and build sheds, I needed to find a way to hide all the equipment and more tanks seemed like the most logical option:lolspin:

 

[NaClH20NMYVEIN]

More tanks is always the right way to go :lol:

I promised that the next update would show some serious progress. Here it is. Got the saltwater top off plumbed.
