Reef Bruh's 600 Gallon Upgrade

My live rock bin now.

 

On a more positive note, the inside of the tank is finished. Its hard to show due to the fact that I want to sand the outside after I get it inside the house. Plus there are some things I need to get done to the room also like dedicated electrical for the tank, flooring, sliding or french doors, and some interior decor.

 

Coming along nicely. Cant wait to see water in it.

 

Thanks. Not putting water in now is a rough decision on my part. As I stated earlier, I should do the changes before or do the changes around the tank. I am desperate to get water in the tank but not that desperate.

 

I agree do the changes first then put the tank in. Much easier that way.

 

My only problem is since I am making this viewable all the way around, how do I cover the lines being run to the tank without people tripping over them?

 

A nice area rug? or if you could run it up in the attic, and have some sort of cover for the wires like an aluminum hollow rod... or even better, make some floor outlets like ones at gyms, auditoriums, etc. But thats a little more time consuming and requires some electrician help, if you dont know what your doing... which i wouldnt... lol

 

The only problem with that is I have concrete floors. I was thinking of building some sort of walk ramp over the cords. Another debate I am fighting is should I place the sockets inside the stand or on the wall next to the other plugin sockets. So many decisions.

 

Don't run them under a rug, they wear out quick and will be a fire hazard. If you have base boards you can remove a small section (length wise) and run the cord inside the cut out, a lot of older houses that did not have phone lines ran when they were built have lines run in this manner.
