Well, minor progress. Got the room all drywalled, taped and painted. Gonna finish some electrical today, and maybe start the bench for the sump.

Thanks man, I hope I can keep it that way, lol.

More progress. I got all my hard wired electrical done. Anything within 6' of the sump is GFI'd. Split some of my plugs and switched them so I can turn stuff on and off easy like my return pumps, skimmer, Ca reactor, RO/DI booster and SW mixing station.
The sink is going to be replaced with something else. I may have a line on a used S.S. commercial sink/wash tray, so hopefully that'll pan out without breaking the bank. The 2" ABS drain line you see on the floor is actually going to my existing sump for when I do water changes. That'll eventually be run from the new sump and tight to the wall behind the SW and Fresh water tanks.

Got my drawers built. Still missing the right glide for the lower left drawer (got 2 lefts instead of a right and a left) so that's why it looks a bit off kilter. Got the top doors mounted with the hold up hardware. Still have to spray all the doors, hopefully that'll happen this week.
Today I concentrate on plumbing the tank to sump and see if I can't get that done.
