If I get a lot of glare from the Nanocube I can move the monitor a couple feet to the right or onto the "L" of the desk.

I'm more concerned with the 20X20 splashing the monitor than water coming from the Nanocube. The monitor is a small LCD so is easy to move around. I can get it completely off the desk when doing maintenance on the tanks.

Salt creep could be a problem with the monitor and tanks so close together. Might corrode out the monitor with the salt air.

The computer and the tanks are on separate GFI protected circuits. and the computer itself is nowhere near the tanks.

Looks pretty cool--interested in seeing it all in action!

I now have the system full of water, all the water tests completed and the hoods in place. It's ready for the live rock.

Here's pictures from the back showing how the mods look with the hood in place

I didn't find one locally. I couldn't find a CPR 90 overflow in town so I ordered the "Deluxe" from J&L which came packaged with the lid and the Aqualifter.

Cool little setup, my bother inlaw and I were talking about a little setup like that. With the red sea max, sump and refugium. Great idea, how big is the sump?
Can't wait to see the system up and running. Send more pictures please.

The inside of the RSM cabinet is 22WX18DX24H. I had Golds build the largest sump that would fit and give me enough room to get pumps in and out for maintenance 21WX17DX18H.

I decided to put the protein skimmer external so I could fit a larger skimmer (my skimmer is over 24 inches tall so wouldn't fit inside) and maximize the size of the sump.

Originally I was planning the RSM, sump and shallow refugium but found a used Nanocube 6 so decided to add on the speciman tank while I was doing all the plumbing. Easier to add it in now than to modify the system once it is up and running.

Beautiful. I've been thinking of modifying My Red Sea Max to make up for some of it's inadequacies, you've done a great looking job.
