Ok. Back to this thread. Its been a while with no updates so here we go.

Lights are all set up. 4 x Radion Gen 3 Pros. Took a little while to figure them out but we got it. We bought a pulley system from Princess Auto and used 3 aluminium rods to create a frame to hang the lights off of. As a safety back-up we used 2 steel cables that are screwed straight into wood on top. The lowest the lights would be able to come is about 9 inches from the surface of the water.


This is what the finished cabinetry looks like. All the panels can be opened and taken off if needed. This would be the most viewed side as it is in the family room.


View from the other side. This is the side that is visible from the moment you walk inside the house. Still working on the water currents. Cant figure out a spot that doesnt make the sand blow away.


Still working on my cable management. Auto top off still needs to be set up. I didnt realize that the Tunze auto top off pump was missing from the box. I opened the box one year after purchasing it $20 for a new pump from Tunze.
