I’ve decided to reframe my wall and have a picture frame in my living area of the tank. And the back part exposed in the fish room. I’m going to frame a stand right into the wall and back a bench that runs around the inside peninsula so I can stand on when working on it.

Hopefully I get the framing finished this weekend when I have some time.

Here are some updated pictures.

Still isn’t permanent. I have to finish the wall thinking about finishing it with some high quality flooring.. adding a border to the picture frame. Might move the couch. But I spend quite a bit looking at it so I put the couch there for now.

Got the RO station built. I have ( 3 ) 55 gallon food quality barrels.

One is used for RO on hand storage
One is used for premixed salt water
One is currently being used to cure other rock I have.

I plan on getting an line setup for an RO auto top off in my DT

I still have quite a bit of work to do. I have to reposition the power outlets, add a header to the top of the wall there.

Also plumbing will be done for this tank and will be ordering an overflow and sump for it.

I used the old stand for the tank and set it up along the side wall in the room. Plan on adding a tank in there.

Possibly a utility sink a deep one when I find a good deal on one.

Already spilled water in that room. Fell asleep while the RO was making water lol. It drained right into the sewer which is a couple feet away.

I’ll post more pictures when I’m a bit closer.
