Wow! Nice if your wife kills you just because of the mess she is cool. My GF would kill me by just telling her prices jajaja

LOL!! She was okay with that because it is much safer now than it was before... I still need to put a acrylic panel on top to protect from splashes... My yellow coris Wrasse likes slosh water over the side of the tank to watch it dribble down the side. :rain:

Love the tank!!

Thank you!!

Outstanding job! One thing tho...can you clarify how you have the water connected to the ro/di? I mean what do you have it hooked up to? And the waste water; it connects to that vinyl tube and goes where again?

The waste water is connected to a drain line that I routed out to the sewer clean out, outside the house. I also use this line to drain the display for water changes. The RO has a top off float (I know) at the top of the reservoir and there is another float (I know) in the sump that drains from the reservoir... This is not an ideal set up, because it does not allow the RO/DI to dispense for 5 mins before filling the res. and therefore my TDS is higher than it should be... I'm at a loss for how to redesign it to allow for that. I know I can have it drain out to the line I ran outside, but how to get it to run for 5 mins and then switch is unknown... also, how to get the res. to only fill when it needs more than a few drips is an unknown... some suggestions here would be appreciated. But thank you for the kudos!! Also, the water supply is connected to my hose bib, which is also outside. I used a simple hose splitter and a hose to R/O line adapter.
