Scott's 270g aka Project Mayhem

Suspended ceiling is in. I am happy with how it turned out!

Not really tank update per say but I got the wallpaper feature wall done today and the tile guy is coming tuesday/wednesday.

I am also picking up ~8' of 2" spaflex up tomorrow and rigging the tank to the sumps. Maybe plumb the durso's.

Liking the wall and ceiling textures

Have you thought about some kind of alarm for the emerg overflow as it flows down the drain ? Or did I mis-understand where it goes ?
Hate to hear about your tank crashing 'cause it filled with top-off water

The emergency overflow he speaks off is in the lower sump, it's not part of a herbie or other overflow box system for circulation. It's only the to prevent the sump from overflowing in situations like shut down when the tank is overfilled for whatever reason.

Scott, basement looks awesome. I agree the slate ceiling tiles look great, one of the betters ones for sure. I like the floor tiles too.

Thanks guys! Greg, I do plan on having a small switch in the overflow to alert me when water is going down it. That being in the event that an auto top off stuck on or something along those lines. I just 95% of the lighting in the basement. I also wired up the Mitras on an aluminum frame and am working on the suspension system now.

Cheers,
Scott
