    :eek:WOW:eek: Looks awesome, like the floor flows. I do have some Q's thou.

    1. Did you leave some space between the R/O unit and the floor? So you can twist off the containers and change the filters.

    2. Any reason why you used that gray flex hose instead of pvc?

    3. Is the bottom "tank" a sump or a combo sump and refug?

    4. Do you have the return lines set up so you can regulate(ball valve) the flow between the "upper" and "lower" return nozzles? You may need to regulate the flow on the lower return lines, depending on the flow.

    5. I hope you have a back-up timer in case that p.o.s. timer goes out.

    6. And last but not least...................IM SO FREAKEN JEALOUS! I love new toys. Keep us posted buddies.;) Luna

    1. I did not mount the RO/DI unit yet it is just sitting in the cabinet under the sink right now. I will mount it soon as I get to Lowe's for some screws.

    2. It was easier to maneuver. I hope this is not a bad thing.

    3. It is a sump/fuge combo. I have a PC fixture for it. I'll get more pics for ya. I know you won't mind. LOL

    4. I didn't think about needing to regulate the flow between the two so no I don't have any ball valves in place. :-[

    5. I do have some of the regular timers from Lowe's for back up and I didn't know it was p.o.s. timer but I guess I need to get another one on the way. Do they tend to not last.

    6.Yes I am excited about this one. My last tank was done the cheapo way and I just wanted to do this one right. I hope it goes well. Thanks buddy!

    LOL you are to funny John. I think I will have to pass on that one. I am going to start the aquascaping Sunday. It will be a all day chore.

    What's your plan for the construction of aquascape? PVC? Stack?
