This build is a rebuilt of my previous system, Monolith, which crashed in July 2016 due to a electric failure in the street while I was travelling.
My first thought after that was to dismantle the system and sell out everything, but passed a few days I just found that was not the way to go.
So......here we are.
The setup is basically the same, with much less sand and rocks.
This time I was able to do what I wanna do on Monolith, but didn't do due to the fact that Monolith was an upgraded project.
This was a fresh start, so I can plan it more carefully.
The new layout:
Right View
Big Island
Small Island
