Thank you. It's a very simple project. I would suggest picking up a kreg pocket hole jig. It makes a project like this very simple.

Can't say I blame him.... I'd have that thing on my front porch cased in 2" plexiglass for the whole world to see!

Not blaming him...lol. Toby's got skills I can only dream of!!!

Just curious, have you been happy with the flow you are getting with the M1 pump (I am assuming it is an M1 from the rest of your pics), supplying those reactors and the return? Lots of 90° fittings in there too. I have the same pump (well 2 pumps) and I had read some reviews where people were disappointed with the flow they got from them. Looks like it is doing a great job for you though. Thia whole set-up is just so darn awesome!

It's actually an L1... and yes, there's plenty of flow:). Probably more than needed, but I like the extra circulation I'm getting from the split return.

Looks awesome man! White stands/cabinets always look so good. I wish I could have a white stand, but it just wouldn't go with my decor.

Ok, thanks. I saw a pic on Flickr of an M1 in with your other equipment, that's why I asked. :D
