Where did you source those brackets for all of the controllers? I haven't seen anything for mounting the jebao return pump controllers before.

Awesome :)

I, too, have a 60x30x18" peninsula tank, steel stand... a bit more primative, but not too dissimilar from what you're doing. I am very happy with it.

I'll keep watching, see how this all turns out :)

Wife is at work figured it was a good time to set it up and test fit it. It “fits” well...see what she says in 7 hours!!! 6F7245CE-730D-4D12-9DCB-1AEB4DBE82C0.jpeg 9B35524D-A03B-4904-98F2-EA22CD7E760A.jpeg

Looks great. Plan out a new home for the pictures and call it a day!

Couple 'o questions...

You use that fireplace? Being near an open fire can have odd effects on pH. Something to be aware of, anyway.

What kind of bird is the playground for?

I've got a red loried amazon named Elora that I've had for over 30 years now. We had a young Moluccan cockatoo for two years. Beautiful bird, lots of fun... kinda like having a two year old that is never going to grow up, a voice that can break glass, and equipped with a jaw capable of cracking a brazil nut :) Lived in the suburbs at that point... gave her away when I started getting noise complaints from my neighbors. Six months later, we were moving to the country. If I had only known...

It had surface rust and one hole. Put my best worker on it and he removed the rust. Then I sent it to my buddy at BlackJack Speed shop and he coated it with Line-X. Stand is ready to go...
im a diesel mechanic and I really know from being to the eye doctor and almost losing my eye one time. Your son needs to wear safety glasses using that wire brush on that drill. I have had them wires go through my eye before.

Retro T5 kit and Plumbing from BRS, Amazon for break out box buttons and plug extensions, Zen Reef for the sump catch tray and 8020.net for the light rack.
Where did you get those plug extion

Nope, don’t use the fire place. I use to chop wood when I was younger I’m Washington state. Was our owy source of heat. Have no desire to use it lol. Plus we live in Texas now!

We have a Sun Conure and a Green Quaker but they are going to a new home on Sunday. Just don’t have time for them with the kids going back to school they are going to a great home where they will get plenty of attention. We also have a 30 year old Blue and Gold Macaw who will be with us until death do we part.

Always wanted a Cockatoo but they are a lot of work. Would probably drive out grumpy old macaw nuts. Down the road I will look at getting an African Grey!

Couple quick picks of the light rack. I’m tired, my knee hurts and it’s standing on its own for now. It needs a few adjustments to level it but that should be easy. It has a slight drop but not much. Pretty good for a peninsula style light rack. I will play with the brackets and get it more in line.

Ah the fun part, wiring it all up. So happy that the front panel comes off for access! Also, nice I’m not in a hurry so I can take my time and keep the wires neat! All the wires in the sump dump right into the equipment box. 8CC24E10-5AD7-4AB9-B649-6F5457EC1893.jpeg 635C53EE-045E-4A5B-9BB3-780DD2C3A8F3.jpeg
