Any updates on it?

Just iterating through plumbing currently; everything is still dry fit. I've been getting some good suggestions and have changed things up a few times. Going to swap the ball valves for gates but I think it's getting close.

Super clean!

I noticed valves on the return but not on the drain, any reason for doing that?

 

[ChrisQ0904]

Double post, sorry.

 

[MCooper]

So nice!

I originally had a gate valve on the rear for the full siphon drain, but it's much more accessible under the sump ;)

Awesome

Ahhhh, I see now makes a lot of sense. Cant wait for the rest of this build to unfold.

It's alive! Now the wait begins; have to figure out lighting in the mean time.

Man this is a gorgeous build. It's a work of art without anything in it... :D

 

[Wilsoni]

PS the Hue system is awesome! I went all LED in my condo and I love my Hue bulbs.

 

[Wilsoni]

I must know, what controller do you plan on going with?

 

[Wilsoni]

Oh wait... Apex. Haha I thought I read that somewhere

 

[ChristopherKriens]

Yeah I'll probably try out the new Apex. I use it on my other system, so it makes sense to keep everything together in Fusion.

This build is clean! Coming along very nice man. Can't wait to see it fill in.
