View from the display room:
I am working on the support for the 2 x 35 gallon Brute water storage cans and an access panel for the front of the tank.
Also, puchased a railling system for the intended lights which I hope to install this weekend, (to slide the light rack out of the way when working on the tank).

Is that hole the height of the tank?!!??!!??!! If so that is going to be seriously impressive. Everything is looking great.
Thanks guys.....it's taking me a long time but alot of things have happened along the way that were unrelated to the hobby. Anyway, I will get things running after the light track and access panel is designed/installed. You will see a post by me asking for help to move the tank in. I left a 4' opening in the wall to get the tank in. Once the tank is in I will close the wall and add the door.
It's hard taking pics of the room since I don't have a wide angle lens. The room is less than 10' long by 6' wide, (5' in one corner). The room keeps getting smaller. I am looking at marine starboard for the access panel.
Beaun: the opening pictured is NOT the height of the tank...the tank is an Oceanic Ultimate 215 gal tank (72"Lx24"Dx29"H). The extra height is for the front access panel (approximately 73" x 15"). I have a design in mind but implementation is what takes up all of my time.
I initially planned on having a 75 gal sump and 40 gal refugium but ended up getting a 125 gal 5' tank that fits under the stand to be used as a combo sump/refugium to save space. I still need to set up the baffles etc. Anyway, I will post pics of the water storage support I just built....when I get a chance....that took me all day Sunday. Problem was all of the plumbing for the Heat, drain etc was in the way and the concrete floor slopes front to back and side to side (to complicate things).

You expect easy??
Too much to ask for with aquariums.
You should know that by now, a 1hr. job takes 3-4

Frank,
Looks awesome! when do you plan on putting some glass in the hole?
Can't wait to see it complete.

In pic 5 that is the drain pipe for the sink plus a 2" drain for water changes. That pic also shows control valves for the heat....I can shut it off if the room doesn't need the 3 foot heat that was installed. I can move that 2" elbow left or right. The outlet was the only original outlet in the room...so I left it. There is no outlets by the bar sink, (pics 7, 8 & 11). I need to update progress......will post new pics soon.

I know he said there are no outlets by the sink, but just because it's by the sink doesn't mean you need a GFI. I believe you could place a single GFI on the very first outlet on the line and it would protect the entire circuit. They also have GFI breakers too which I had installed in my house after I found out that my entire house wasn't grounded.
