    In the first picture te wall on the right is the "Victim" persay...the tank will stretch from about 3" to the left of the light switch all the way to pretty much the end of the wall.

    In the second picture that is the side of the laundry room that will become the equipment room :) I am gonna run the RO/DI system from that sink over to the other side of the room
