Started the closet for my original build (50 gallon, small tank).



It turned out like this:

[FishyFishy!]

BUT.... then I decided to go big again. So the design changed. Here is where I am at now.

Both closets are painted with Kills Premium. All wood work in the main sump closet (right) is done.



The challenge was getting the drain, electrical, water and ventillation into/out of the closet. Luckily, I live in a 4 level split house, so the beams run all the way into my basement laundry/furnace room.

So I cut a hole in the drywall, and ran the 1.5 ABS drain, 4" vent, electrical from 1 of the 3 circuits, and 1/2 pex water line for my RO.













I made a panel (that needs a good cleaning after touching it with dirty hands lol) for everything to come through the wall.












AND YES I KNOW ITS A BRASS FITTING.... BUT IT'S GOING BEFORE THE RO UNIT LOL

Building the left closet's stand for the frag tank, DSB/Fuge, and ATO holding tank.





Also decided to reinforce two of the legs on the Brute storage bin stand. The other side I wont bother, as these will be bolted to wall studs on that side.

Here are the stands, still have to paint the reinforced Brute stand.




SO thats where I am at now. This weekend I am going to start drilling holes for the plumbing to go through the walls between the closets, and probably start plumbing! Yaaaay!

And heres an old pic that kinda shows the location of the new tank. Level on the right is my kitchen where the tank goes. Left is the room housing the closets where the fish room is.



Here is where my old 155 bowfront was. This is the same location, only this display will be 7.5-8 foot, not 6 foot. I miss the old 155 bowfront... but it met it's demise during a party...

Good Party

When you do your water changes, are you just dumping the volume of the sump or do you drain part of your DT as well? I hear you about the hoses and pumps and buckets. I like the ease of your setup...
