I've got to agree with the dog pic
They either look guilty, or they are saying something to you about your build

Coming along nicely - good work

About your electrical;
Yes, 12 'sources' per breaker is the limit. They all count ... lights, outlets ...
This is code for a 15A circuit ( basically )

Would be best if you could find a way to run 1 or 2 new dedicated breakers for your tank
I have one 15A for my sump, and another for my tank
The pumps/heaters/controllers all run on one breaker, and the lights/vortechs run on the other

So this is what I have accomplished today I will plumb all the 1" pvc drain to the sump . I am going to run flexible 1"3/4 vinyl tubing from my two Eheim so if I ever have to work in the sump it will be easy to move them around
I spent $100 on fittings more than I need so I don't have to keep running back and forth to Home Depot . I am trying to organize the stand better so it doesn't look like a rats nest of wires. I am hoping to get the new tank up on the stand tomorrow if I can get a few guy together to lift it up Lots of fun. The fish seam happy and the tank look good half empty or half full however you want to look at it.
Fortunately I didn't have to much of a ammonia spike after my son urinated in the tank Time to hit a bottle of red .

Looks good, love the tank.

How much would a tank like that cost? just out of curiosity for my next upgrade.

Thanks Ginu it's been a lot of work my fish are happy but some of my corals are stressed. The tank is running but I haven't done any aquascaping and I have lots of fine tuning.

Looks great... If I could make a friendly suggestion. Your powerbars worry me with possible splashing over or salt creep. You may want to make an umbrella or cover so you don't gave electrical issues/fire a simple acrylic or something to be sure water doesn't touch the power bars.
