Well, I started to plumb this thing last night. This is going to be a chore!

My wife sat down beside me as I was plumbing and asked how it all works, I watched her eyes glaze over about 10 seconds into the conversation!

Love how the whole bookcase setup looks. My eyes would glaze over too....thats alotta plumbing I think its a good thing when they show a little interest. My g/f knows how to tweak the skimmer if its overflowing and can tell when something isnt sounding right.... which gives me a little piece of mind when Im at work.

The plumbing is coming along, I'm waiting on a couple of fitting so I can finish things up. I'm hoping to do a fresh water test in a week or two.

I started the light rack last night, I'm making it out of aluminium angle. I have it laid out, I just need to drill it and rivet the pieces together.

I'll post some more pictures once I get them both completed.

It's looking great so far. From the angle you took the picture of the light rack, it's hard to see exactly how you are doing it. Any other pics?
