I haven't gotten as much as I wanted to do done, but here is an update.
I was originally going to plug my LED lightning into the ceiling, so I installed some outlets there. However, I ended up changing my mind, so I spent this weekend patching the holes I made into the ceiling that I had my wires routed through.
Also regarding the lighting, I've gotten a few PM's (think I answered them all) on how the Radions are hung. I put some boards connected to studs on the ceiling and used 3 Radion hanging kits connected to Bosch Rexroth. This railing allows me to slide the Radions left and right and the hanging kit allows me to raise the railing up and down. The railing wasn't my idea and more information can be found if you look at "Mr. Saltwater Tanks 375gallon build" video.
The wood the sump is on was painted black and there is a liner underneath the stand that is situated so if water does go under the tank, it will flow forward instead of towards electrical.
The styrofoam and wood the tank is on was painted black (needs some touch ups). The stand will be skinned, but I figured I'd paint it anyway.
The overflows were completed. Bit of a complication there, the return drilled into the bottom of the overflow and side of the overflow (where the loc-line is) are not aligned. I could have either made a bunch of weird angles that would cost me a lot of real estate inside the overflow or use braided tubing. I ended up using braided tubing. I'm not thrilled with this, but its the only idea I could come up with without losing space and GPH; I will get a picture of this when I move the tank back out.
Another issue I was aware of, but didn't want to deal with right away, was the Maxspect Gyres. The way the top of the tank was made, the gyres would have wires going up then across the top and then back down. It would have looked very bad, IMO. I ended up getting two MP60's to replace them, so my 6month old Gyre 250 and new in the box one will be up for sale in a bit.
To stop using my WIFI adapter, I routed an ethernet cable through the wall and into the tank room where my Apex will be.
Lastly, my ATO will be mainly handled by my 275g resorvoir in the garage ~25 feet away. I have a booster put with an automatic shut off valve that will run tubing outside and through the wall into the tank room and connect to a float valve. If the float valve lifts then the booster pump in the garage will turn off. This will fill up my ATO container and then a Tunze will fill my tank and also tell me if the float valve fails. I'm using the Tunze because if the float valve does fail then I'd rather it on my floor then 200+ gallons flood my tank and then flood my floor. I may add the Apex water sensor to this area as well.
Here are a couple pictures:
I'm hoping by next Monday the plumbing will be done and I'll start working on aquascape ideas!:bounce3:
Hope that made sense.
