Default pictures and more pictures.
I finally have the tank up and running. Bellow are pictures of the tank and misc. parts I have used. Enjoy and I will post more pictures when I am able to place fishes, corals and a clean-up crew in the tank.

Power distribution panel which I made. It is hooked up to a 2 pole switch which is mounted in the stand and is fed power by a GFI breaker.

JBJ auto top off controller. JBJ auto top off sensor next to the water pump. AWI float valve in reserve water container to start and stop the RODI system. And the pump which controls the reserve water.

And here is everyones favorite the tank shot. As always the first picture is still a little cloudy from the sand settling but you can see a little bit.

Nice job on the build. Looks to be coming together nicely. Still a little more waiting. Reeally like the aquascaping. Does the wall next to your tank/fireplace feel warm to the touch? Or, is it one of those fireplaces that never get used?
