He certainly has stepped up to the plate.

Fish Room
Fish Room
Allright! The fish room is finally finished construction. Sump stand and resevoir platform in place and painted what I guess you could call a Bubble King Red. Wanted to keep the room white to give a more roomy feel, but really wanted to accent it with the red. All plumbing has been run and the RO/DI will be installed tomorrow.
Fish room from hallway
Here is the sump stand with storage. Bottom left will hold frag tank while Ca Reactor will go botoom right. All plumbing will run through wall to right of sump and head straight up to the display tank directly above.
A sink was added and elevated to fit a dehumifier below it complete with floor drain to auto expell accumulated water.
Sump.
Epoxied floor and trim still to be finish painted.

Thanks Wipp! I actually painted a drain pipe that runs down through the room in the same red. It looks good I must say. However, once the system is plumbed, I will probably leave it be. But, who knows with me. I always have to do something.
As far as electrical, I have a gfi to the left of the sink for the dehumidifier located next to the exhaust fan timer. Underneath the sump there is an outlet on a dedicated circuit for the controller and related equipment to run off. The last outlet is on the wall between the water resevoir and sump stand. This outlet is split with one receptacle tied to existing power supply and the other tied to the dedicated power line. I am also in the process of establishing the wattage requirements of all my equipment to determine the size of UPS or similar type system needed to use for backup.

So that is what the fish room looks like...HaHa. It was lots of work Tim! Only took us 4 weeks! But we had some fun I think...Or wait, did we?
Thanks a million for all your help Rob! I know it was gruelling at times. I'll be right there with you as soon as your ready to start your setup.

Awesome build you guys are realy going all out can't wait to see more
Thanks for the encouraging words guys!
Wipp, I do not experience any power issues where I reside. The backup system is just a precautionary measure. I just want to avoid any potential failure as I am out of town quite often. Some of the losses I have read about on RC are truly upsetting and I couldnt imagine losing my system.

Wow Tim, great idea to set yourself apart a bit. The red and white BK theme is pretty sick looking. :thumbsup:
Here are a couple more items if you want to keep the color scheme going...
return pump and closed loop.
What are your plans for circulation in your tank? Are you doing closed loop only?

Already have return pump, Blueline. Those Red Dragon 2 pumps are big money! Out of our price range! You need to be rich for that. haha
And for Flow, 4-way closed loop, and 2 holes also drilled for returns. So 6 in total for flow. If more is needed, may add a Vortech. May not even need it (have to see what Tim is up for)
The Tank is being picked up next weekend! Should be nice!
