It's sitting on 2x4 plates on carpet over concrete in my basement at the moment, they were added after this picture was taken. Once the cabinets go in it will be on concrete only.

I told this was going to be slow moving! lol

The cabinets should be in town this coming week, then I have to wait for install. I have started to prep for install now.

First coat of mold/mildew resistint paint:


Bubble Master 250 breaking in:


Water change station:


RO/DI


Two of my pendants, return pump, closed loop pump, and the second chamber from my calcium reactor..


Exhaust fan wired to a humidistat:



Next step after paint this afternoon is to pull the carpet back then install a rubber baseboard along the wall to prevent water from wicking into the drywall should I have a spill.

I thought I would post a picture of my 75 gallon before I tore it down:



As for the big tank..I've got my electrical figured out.. I'm running three new circuits to the tank today.

Great thread, it looks like it will be a really nice build when you are done...

Could you maybe expand on your water change station? How will you get water to the tank?

I haven't got all the details worked out yet. But the plan is to tee off my return line to pump water from the tank and to pump water to the tank via the pump you see in the picture, I'm not sure at this point if that pump will be strong enough to move the water seven feet up then 40 feet vertical.

if you are unhappy with your sump system I can build you a really nice sump for cheap.
