Worked on getting all the cables through which turned into a pain but it's done. Also got some more done with that cabinet.

Last night it was time to move the tank back closer to the wall. I finished the plumbing from the water change station to my tank and also the plumbing that goes to the drain. For water changes I will only have to turn 2 valves and it will get done. The hardest thing I'll have to do is put salt in a mixing container [emoji16]. I also got to try out putting water in my tank from the water changing station and it worked well. I transferred 40 gallons to the sump.

Decided to paint he back of the QT black. Also mounted the power supply and organized the QT/water change station wires. Much better

Home stretch for the build. Just waiting on a few parts that will be here tomorrow and I should be done. Salt was added this morning. Will be a few days for it to clear up. Done with the aquascape, I'll take better pics of it as soon as the tank clears.
