Everything is looking great! I like your choice of the white on the inside of the canopy.

Yeah I like the white. It’s Rustoleum Topside ... dries real hard and smooth but takes 24 hours between coats.

Final coat of poly...

So close to getting water in this thing and my wife informs me her dad got us a free week at a condo on the beach. GEE THANKS. I’ve never been more upset over a free vacation.

Really clean, looks great. Out of curiosity, how are you using the ball valves next the returns behind the tank?

That’s to balance flow between the two returns. Not really a big deal these days, just an old habit from way back before vortechs... haha.

Looking good. What model Deltec is that? Think I have the same one or close. I’m starting to build out my 240.

It runs like a beast. I have it. Mine took a bit to break in but since then its running strong.

Looks awesome. Need a video of the light elevator. Is the canopy mounted to the wall or resting on the tank?
