Thanks for all the compliments

I have yet to properly label the two buttons (doorbells) that is why I just have tape beside one but they are for feeding cycles. I have them attached to the apex to trigger a set of actions. One turns off the return and my mp10 for 10 mins which allows me to feed my clown fish etc. The other button triggers a cycle for feeding the coral. It turns off return and sets mp10 to a slower flow rate for 30mins as well as shutting off my skimmer for an additional 30mins after the return and mp10 resume.

"Curious did you build your stand / canopy yourself?"

I had the metal frame fabricated, but I painted it white and the made all the oak panels to skin the stand and the light suspension cabinet.
I also made a PVC cover that I painted black to hide the coast to coast overflow etc. In the photo of the controller and the overflow you can see the top of it resting on my mesh canopy and the sides have just been completely removed.

Thanks for all the compliments.
