Are you going to stain/seal the wood on the outside? Add faux stone etc? I’d be afraid of the long term damage on the wood from spills/splashing etc. You’ve done a really great job to this point!

Third tote load is in. The display is almost full.
It’s hard to see in the second picture but the vortech controllers look awesome in the dark.

any signs of leaks? I thought I saw some water on the floor there but I hope its just a splash from putting it in.

No leaks so far. The water on the floor was from me. I moved the pipe that was offloading the water from the tote and I accidentally splashed some out.

I love ecotech, but you might be one of the first people that could utilize this beast in the future. Not sure if you saw the article @MimicOcto8 https://reefbuilders.com/2016/09/14/kessil-a2000-led-is-one-powerful-commercial-aquarium-light/
