Slow progress. Went with the bean animal overflow. Plumbed to the sump and started to fill the rest of the tank with RO.

Plumped the return. This panworld pump will be moved over to the left bulkhead on the sump and run protein skimmer & Reactors. The iwaki 70 will take its place and strictly run the return.

My instagram account is @wildaquatics23! Feel free to follow me on there too as I post a ton of photos/videos of my build. I'm really enjoying the project so far and can't thank everyone enough who follows it and is interested by it. Thanks so much!
 
I've been looking around threads to find pics/designs for an aluminum light rack. I have 3 orphek atlantiks and thinking of supplementing with a couple t5 attinic/blues on the front and back.

If you have pics of yours or know any good examples please share!
 
Thoughts?

Lots of exposed wood in the fishroom. Really should be painted/sealed before the humidity gets much higher in there.

I like the rock work. I can see where the project is going, and I really like what I imagine the overall look will be. I agree with dave.m you want to make sure that you do it right with a set up like this. Painting the exposed wood will help prevent future issues.
