The wait will be worth it!! I know with all these builds I'm going to see something come up and go "doh". I have to make some changes and still add some equipment, finish the room it's in but happy to have it running. I wish I could get a decent picture, it looks much better in person, hard to see the caves, no depth to the pics.
