Very nice!

Thanks everyone. It's just a glass box until I get some life into there! I am anxiously awaiting some return pumps and a custom stand for my skimmer. After that, it's go time!

The carpet is in but I am at work. I have some iPhone pictures from Wendy but the iPhone won't do the work justice. I will post new ones once I get home

I also worked on the overflow plumbing that connects the overflow to the sumps. I am regretting using spa flex since it still had a bit of curl to it. I am concerned that the PVC cement won't fill the slight angle that the spa flex enters the bulkhead. If I have a leak I will re do the span with rigid 2" PVC.

I am still unsure about Apex vs Profilux. I was pretty sure Apex was the one for me, but the new wireless Mitras control has begun to sway me to the GHL side I want to be able to control my pumps (I decided on the new RE RD3 pumps that are 5-10v controllable), my mp40es vortechs, have water leak detectors, control water changes, run my doser, and control my lights. Well neither could run my lights not that long ago, but the new wireless module from GHL is a bit of a game changer. The more I have been reading aquadigital's reviews on how to set up AWC and ATO features on the Profilux, the easier it looks.

Any words of wisdom? I know nineball (RC) switched from Profilux to Apex and they said it was a great switch. Help....

Some tank shots. Carpet's in, baseboards are on!

[Scythanith]

Fish room.





The Snake wall. Still needs some backing, tanks cleaned, a little light sealing, bla bla bla.



Fireplace, cabinetry, carpets, tile... nearly done!



I still need some ducting work, and a light fixture or two. Then all the work on the tank

Cheers,
Scott

looks fantastic! at first I thought you were using ikea cupboard panels but that seems unlikely given the variety of shapes you've used on the project. is that wood you finished yourself?

[Scythanith]

Thanks! No I did not do the cabinetry. We hired a company to custom build it for us.
