No prob! I love your set up, its very clean. I considered the laminate countertops for my fish room (same as yours, granite with ogee edge) but decided to just use some nice plywood and save some $$$. Sure looks great though!

A little dose of filtration madness
Nice UV? set
How's that for plumbing?
Wall mounted pc with a nice touch in the background
This setup must be powerful

I saw those on the gallery at ATM and meant to post them but never got around to it.
Thanks dainiusiva.

My fish closet (AquaCloset as I've dubbed it) for my 65 Gallon rimless mixed reef
Awesome! :bounce1: I love this. Everything is neat and I love how you set up the Genesis system.
Thanks! it's still not as neat as I want it to be, have some more buttoning up to do with the pipes and wiring, but i've still got more plumbing to do for the fuge above so i'm waiting until it's all complete to get to crazy with organizing...

Dekand,
Can you go into detail on your system and how it works? I think it looks great and am leaning towards something similar to that myself.
Cheers

If i didn't know what this was and someone just showed me the pics, i would of thought it was some sort of chemical injection system in a large refinery.
Now thats a system

What size tank does this system run?
Rob,
My display is a 65 Gallon rimless, I've got a 30g acrylic sump, SWC Cone skimmer, and the entire system (as of yesterday actually) is running on an Eheim 1262 return pump.
Return pump tee's off to go to the main, then through my closet wall and up to a manifold which runs 2 BRS Carbon/GFO reactors, then it travels up about 5.5 feet to a 20 gallon fuge which overflows back into the 30g sump under the tank.
That is the main system --
Water changes are handled by the Genesis Renew, that pumps out water from the 30g sump under the tank, as well as the 25gallon container you can see in my pics. 1 gallon from each get metered in the Genesis resevoirs, then the new saltwater is dropped to the sump, and old water down a drain line that runs around my closet to the laundry room drain since the closet and laundry room (perfectly i may add) share a wall.
Top-off is handled by the Geneses Storm which is fed by the RO/DI and that is controlled by the Genesis RocV add-on to the Storm. What that does is measure the water level in the 25 gallon freshwater bin, once it's low it kicks on the RO/DI automatically, so there is always freshwater for top-off and for mixing salt.
As of right now I have my Renew system set on 2 gallons/day -- so about every 2 weeks I just turn a few ball valves between the two reservoirs, fill up the salt bin with 25 gallons of RODI water, add in salt, and I'm good to go for another two weeks.
It is not the cheapest system to setup, and I think anything smaller than a 65 gallon it would really not be worth the cost/effort, but I setup these bits before getting the light upgrade I really want, and it was well worth the wait for the light(s) to have the automation, and stability.

These setups are amazing. Keep the pics coming.Here's my humble sump room.
You might feel humble but clean as a whistle!!

Very well decribed my friend. Thank you!
One question about the renew, once the water is in both metered containers, what releases the water, a solenoid valve?
Cheers
rob
Yeah, you can hear a "click" and then the water releases both to the drain and the sump simultaneously.
Also what I didn't describe is that the Renew disables the Storm while doing water changes, so that it doesn't try to top-off, pretty neat.
My fish room is still a work in progress.
Just about got to the freshwater leak test stage.
Next will be final connection of all the peripheral gear and the tydying up of all the wiring. Wiring will run in conduits and be hidden. The whole room has been lined with 1 " polystyrene foam, painted to match the existing room walls. The tank looks out through the wall onto my games room.
DT back and sides have a polystyrene cover (painted blue) and attached with magnetic strip, for ease of removal when servicing.
1000 litres of external water storage are outside, next to the fish room and pumped in on demand.
X-Wave circulation units need some work, they are a bit noisy and I will open them up and give them a "quiet" treatment. The problem is a poor location method for the drive moter and this needs some work.
Skimmer is a BK Supermarin 200 and the return pump is the RE RD3 Speedy controllable unit....magnificent machine !!!!! totally silent and very powerful.
