Default I'd like to see some pictures of your sump/equipment rooms

As the title states, I am begninning my equipment/sump room build, and I would really love to see some pictures of everyones setups. I'm working on running the plumbing and electrical for the drains/water feeds at the moment. Any advice or suggestions would be awesome.

It's been a pain thus far because the opposite side of the walll from the display has zero power outlets, no water, and no drains running yet... so thats my project at the moment! Basically have to run everything from the basement up.

3 chamber sump with skimmer, LR and return.
Vertex RO/DI

Here is my basic plan. Hard to see in these crummy photos, but you get the idea. I've since smashed holes in the walls to get all the plumbing and electrical into the closets.

I would just like to see how people connect different tanks and ideas on plumbing and that sort of thing.

I'll play along. This is a basement setup with the display on the next level. My RO unit and water resevoir are not seen. It's messy but it works good for me. My wife is happy with it too, no mess upstairs and water changes are a breeze. There is no way all this crap would fit under my stand. It's a total length of 13 feet.
