Thanks for all the compliments!

...Hopefully in the next month or so I will have a better lense to take better photos.

Man thats a build you don't see everyday, looks amazing though nice job and super clean.. You can tell you had this on the drawing board for a while before you put it together.. and its nice how you built the basement around the tanks and didn't place the tanks in the basement after it was built.. kudos sir

You are correct. It took a long time to put this system together..

Thanks

sweet build. love to have your budget. lol

I do have a lot of high end equipment, but let me assure you that this equipment took years to acquire.... I had bough the Vertex 300 before I had the basement finished or tank purchased.

My main reason for the higher end equipment is that I live at that house by myself and I am gone for two weeks out of every month, so having good equipment can save you from a certain disaster. (I have had these in the past)
