    Definately in the plan.

    Yup, giving the electrical as much pre planning as possible to avoid headaches later. (your 180g build thread is epic by the way). ;)

    How are you finishing the walls? Any plans for the plumbing side of the room?

    Drywall on both sides. Melamine around the tanks and stand on the plumbing side. We have a fan going in to keep humidity below 50% also.

    Thanks, Todd. :)


    UPDATE: I received an email from Marc (Melev's Reef) this morning and my sump is about a week or so from completion. It is the Model G version and I can't wait to see it!

    Melev's Reef - Sump Model G

    The actual dimensions will be 52x16x16 to ease shipping/packaging needs.

    It will look awesome under my stand!

    Yup

    | Intake/skimmer | RETURN | FUGE, DSB, MACRO, PODS |

    The fuge will be fed by it's own Sicce .5 pump with a flow valve and spraybar.

    My return pump is a Sicce 3.5 (from memory) at about 650 gph and my SRO-3000I will skim roughly 420 gph

    There will be an additional 7000 gph flow (approx) from dual closed loops with SCWDs.
