I'll make sure my friends never read this thread.

One more question I'm pretty sure I know the answer but just want to confirm. You have no foam or plywood under your tank between the stand correct?

You had me at lamp posts!!

Got any close up shots? I need some light mounting ideas, and that looks cool.

And I'm looking forward to moving my 180 out with 2 people. I remember it coming in lol

We have a camping mattress underneath the stand, and we used poly on the inside and a yoga mat underneath the sump.

I've had a NET module for the reefkeeper for about 6 months now, and still haven't booked it up. Still trying to figure it out. Probably picking up a router that allows wireless bridging so I can hook it up directly to it then bounce to the router in the other room wirelessly.

Though we did hook up remote access to the ReefPC, which is connected to the reefkeeper via MyReef 2.0 and the Vertex Illumina's software - so we know what the lights are doing, and can control everything from our phones.

But to top it off, we also added security cameras to the sump, side of the tank and in front of the tank, so when we get a text message regarding something going wrong in temperature, pH, or the float switch in the skimmer or sump - we can turn anything, or everything off remotely - and we can see it!

the cameras are also infared and weatherproof. So we can see it in the dark, too!

Thats awesome! I'm going to do that too with my new build. It'll be awesome to view the tank when i'm at work. The best is that you can hopefully catch potential disasters before they happen.

Looking great!
