Not sure I want everything done before the ro starts to trickle in. Trying my hardest to not rush.

Yeah they are still hanging where the 90 was. Need to build a 6' rack so I can add one or 2 later.

Those are the old ones lol I want to add one more soon but have some other needs first. I just started looking for a return pump but started thinking I would use 2 smaller pumps one for each return. Any downsides to using 2 smaller ones or advantages to using one larger one?

That is looking very nice - I like the compartment on the side for your electical equipment. Well done.

Yes it is. I plan to have the middle section for frags until they grow out enough to mobe to the DT.

I had a few questions about the electronic box so I'll post up some info. Its made of mdf (I know mdf and water is no good but it was sealed with kilz oil based primer and then a latex top coat) all the edges were glue and nailed with finishing nail.
As for equipment in it my Profilux 2 is on the top shelf. The left side has the 2 radion ballasts (room for a couple more), two of the planned 4 mp40 controllers on the right. In the middle is the two profilux controlled power bars. I placed panduit around the box to contain most of the wiring but need to add more or swap it out with larger ones.



I've removed the UPS from this picture but it will supply power to a heater, pump and one mp40 for about an hour.
