Great build btw...What have you made these of? It looks like wood, if it is how are you sealing them?Now for the construction of the two water tanks, one for fresh saltwater and one for RO/DI topup water...

In case you didn't notice, the entire sump has been moved to the right... That's because of this:
In it's position under the tank, the intakes of the rollermat from the overflow are too high to put unions in place. With a union and a 90 degree elbow it is very tight (and I'd rather not use 90 degree bends if possible):
Oops! ;Dummy
Everything is looking very nice and coming along well!

Will there be enough room to remove and replace a rollermat comfortably?

Also, the below thread has a pretty cool solution for moving lights out of the way! Maybe you'll like it.
Motorized Light Lift
There was a bunch of interest on my build thread for my motorized light lift, so I decided to post a separate thread to show more of how it was built. I will do my best to go through the entire process but feel free to ask questions. Before we get to the nuts and bolts here are some pictures...www.reef2reef.com
Cool I’ll have to google them, do they not warp at all over time? they seem a great alternative to glass/ acrylic, and far easy to cut etc I would imagine..They are made of 19mm PVC panels. These are great because its relatively easy to make holes etc for wires and tubing.
The only pain is that the GHL float sensors that I will be using in them are magnetic and don't hold across 19mm so I have to either thin the PVC in those locations or just glue them to the PVC. I think I'll just glue them: they hold an acrylic rod that I can slide the floaters up and down on so it won't be a problem.
I do love my wrasses, such variety, not only in colours but behaviours as well, and so good for pest control..@Mortie31 - just looked at your tank thread. Beautiful tank!
I might need some advice when I add wrasses... never had those but would like to have them in this new tank.
