Naka, Beautiful setup!! I'm getting ready to do my dream tank setup this year, and I've decided on the ACLS as well as the Sfiligoi lighting.
I also hope to order my tank from Aquarium Obsessed.
I really admire the lack of plumbing in the tank. I see that you have gone through the bottom of the tank for your return... What is your regime in case of a power outage? Do you rely on a check valve? Perhaps you only have the closed loop going through the bottom and the return is higher up in the tank?
Thanks for all the photos and inspiration! I recently super-charged my RO/DI setup with a booster pump, and it's night and day! I've placed a lot of emphasis on my RO/DI setup during my last move, and it's been a tremendous upgrade.
regards,
Rob

Congrats Rob, you're going to fall in love w/ the Sfiligoi lights. Sunrise and sunset effects are really something to see. I recommend you set the sunrise to 15 min and sunset to 30. Longer time will put a lot of stress on your MH bulbs. That was recommended by Mr. Sfiligoi himself Allessandro from MACNA.
Plumbing is done all on the bottom w/ CL. The 2 black loc-line is the return from Eheim 1260, and I don't have any check valves. I also added 1 Ecotech Vortec pump on the left side of my tank to give more flow for my sps. I'll take a full tank shot later.
I couldn't agree w/ you more on you RO/DI setup. I think it's the most important part of my reef tank. I have to thank jdieck (Jose) for helping me design my RO/DI. If you have anymore questions, just email me. naka8899@aol.com
Thanks,

James... Impressive to say the least!!! Your tank is just amazing. Just love the clean look of your system and I know what you mean about the important of a good RO/DI unit. Here is a pic of mine.

I'm not Typhon, but it's a permeate pump. It produces hydraulic force from the waste water. They're generally used with pressure tanks to reduce TDS creep. I'm sure Typhon has a tank just below the bottom of the photo.
Naka, thanks! I'm sure I will have some questions. Again, thanks for sharing. I look forward to seeing your tank mature. You've chosen some amazing specimens.
