That looks fantastic. I did a quick scan of the three pages of your thread, and enjoyed watching it transformed before my eyes.
That stand is killer. Bet you could park a Hummer on it! I was worried the TV would get damaged due to humidity, but not the way you drywalled it.
And when you said In-Wall, I never thought that mean you'd build the very walls around it. :thumbsup:
Wish I was closer to see it in person, it really was well done. I still need to do my own trimwork around my tank, and hope to do so in the next couple of weeks.

jthnhale, I had it covered for a little bit, but I still got some drywall dust in there...it didn't affect anything.
deansreef, I post some pics of my closed loop
melev, thanks for the encouragement, I got some of my ideas from "Weatherson's" tank. Also, I enjoy your website. Your livestock looks so healthy & full of color...good work. I hope I have results like you...we'll see.

Here again, is my water mixing station
This is how I pump the freshly mixed saltwater to my tank. Notice the hose that hooks up to it via a union fitting & it goes to the wall which is where I have a 1" pipe that runs behind the wall.
Here is a view from the mixing room over to behind my tank. I use a flex hose to go to my sump from where the 1" pipe comes out on the other end of the wall. I have a clamp that holds it in place when I need to fill the sump. It works pretty good. However, I need to figure out an easy way to siphon the water out of the tank to be disposed of. I'm doing it the "old school" way of siphoning into a 32 gallon container & then dragging the container over to the fish room to dispose of it.Also, I leave everything running & my water level doesn't drop at all during the water changes.
The nice thing is that I remove the EXACT amount of water that I replace by using the 32 gallon containers...just need an easier way to dispose of the water.
