Sump space tidied up a little bit:



Just need CO2 and osmolator to add. Also going to modify the end pipes to 1" flex. This will give me a bit more room around the skimmer.
Also found a 15 litre recycling tub. Perfect fit, just need to water test that.

Here's the RO unit assembled. I changed the pre filter canisters for clear ones that I had off a spare unit. I think it's more aesthetically pleasing.....



Should have it plumbed in by the weekend.

Just placed an order for the last few pieces. Hopefully get it all finished this weekend. Maybe even wet test one last time. Maybe try and load it up with dry rock, and seed it with a bit of live in the sump. Then let the cycle commence....

Looking good! I like your attention to detail. That splash guard to protect the outlets is a good idea! Are you giong to cover and protect the light as well? It appears very close to the skimmer cup, and skimmer cups have a tendency to blow their load from time to time.

The light isn't as close as it looks in the photo, but the skimmer isn't in it's final position yet anyway. The light is just for working in there anyway and is for wet areas so should hopefully be ok.
