i do mostly pick ask guestion if you have any
i also want a place to store evey thing and have a nice amount of
saltwater and ro ready i want to water changes to be easy and less messy than siphioning
another goal is to have 2 deadicated circet breakers for the tank
i want to be able to switch indivigual componets off and on by switches
i still may go to a neptune controler but for now timers and switches lol
To start i want to pick a location for this room close to the tank it happens to work out
that the tank will be against the wall my stairs are so i have a catch all junk closet under
the steps.
so step one clean the junk out
the closet was used to hold the sweeper, old school books, pictures, stuff we need to hide fast
had a computer in there that was hooked up to the suround sound in the other room as a music server
. it will still house the cable distrubution panel and computer wireless router and modem
ok on with the pictures
the mess

well day 2 starting slow just a lazy sunday
i started by setting a few peices of tile on the floor to see how much would need to be trimmed
and also made a few measurments
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/MAYHEM_AUDIO/FISH%20ROOM/P2070328.jpg
i then picked a spot for my switchs to control all the diffrent things i am thinking i may need some more switches already
well i marked the spot and cut the hole and test fit box

not as much done as i would have hoped but it was one of those days i just dont feel motivated
dont lnow if it is the weather ot the time of year or everything thats been going on in my life the past 6 months???
well my goal for today was to get a good start on the electrical side of is install i have the pipe run from the fish room
into the electricial panel i made up the flex line and first of many boxes to me mounted under the stand and got wire from
switch box to the elec box
i also got the blue tape out and marked on wall roughly where tank will stand i may still build a taller canopy for it
than the one it comes with cause i am install a mh retro fit kit in and not sure how much room i will have with a factory canopy
and not sure how a retro fit will affect the hood/ lid opening and closing
now for the pics also the tstat will be removed it is no longer in use
