im far from done i need to do the drywall still . there is going to be trim that will go around the front of the tank framing it out. i still need to run a water line to the room i figured im gonna run the waste water from the rodi unit to a brute trashcan that i will pump the water out into the washing machine.

now im just waiting for my tax return to get my tank built.:becky: 6-8weeks :frusty:
 
nice !!

so where is all the hardware (sump, skimmer, etc) going?? underneath or in another room
 
right next to it!! the picture below the %50 done writing you can see it off to the left. this a stand i built for a 150g tank that i got rid of a while ago. i never skinned this stand im reusing a lot of stuff t keep the cost down ill take pictures of that soon

Do you mean that you are going to pump the waste water in the drain of the washing machine?? If you pump it into the machine you will have to run the macine to empty the washer out. LOL Why not just run some of the RO tubing to the drain it is pretty cheap and easy to hide.
 
So far so good! Confused on the first set of pictures. You said you need to tile the room and the first picture starts with a completely tiled room then each picture after shows the room with less and less tile until you have a picture with a room with no tile. Did you mean first step was to remove the tile?? LOL!! :)
 
nope i needed to tile that room the way photo bucket generated the codes for all the pictures did not put them in the order i picked lol didnt noticed that the pictures were in the wrong order lol

That tank is going to look awesome. Love the space set aside for everything. When ever you are ready for the electrical let me know.
