This post is a little embarrassing, but I'm sure we have all been there where the tank kinda explodes into the living room. Should be plumbed and the rest of the equipment should be here in the next week or two.

I'll be following along, I too travel for work and was away from my tank for over 190 nights last year. Do you have a build thread for your 45?

Love the skimmer inside the tank!

10k in floor supports - I hope that wasn't the price tag...

Nope, just a extra 10k in support.

Sadly I don't.

Small update, as equipment slowly gets involved.

One bottle of wine and Cal rex, ATO, Inner stand Cabinet is done and light wiring.

Other side of the Cabinet, Wires will be run through the wall to the next wall. 99% of my electronics will be sealed and very show worthy.
