Thanks, @lubeck. Interesting timing on the humidity question: I spoke with a friend of mine who owns an HVAC company this weekend and he suggested I install a minisplit and an exhaust fan. My office is just under 200sft with 12ft ceilings, so I think a 15K BTU unit would probably be sufficient, but could bump up to a 18K BTU unit that has a dedicated dehumidifier setting.This is going be an amazing build. Looking forward to following along.

Talk about draining the bank account.Things are starting to happen. The skimmer arrived a few weeks ago from RK2 Systems. It was shipped on a pallet and packed really well.
The skimmer is a beast measuring about 56" tall and required a bit more length and width than I originally planed for, so I'm going to have to get creative on hiding it in cabinetry. The quality and craftsmanship from RK2 is amazing. The customizations they did for so I can control the rinse down with my Apex is awesome and the Abyzz A200 pump is super sexy mounted to those Hayward ball valves. I can't wait to get water running through this puppy.
The extruded aluminum stand required more focus and attention than I originally thought would be required. After 3 or 4 times, I was able to finally get the stand built. After that, I had to get the courage to cut $300 sheets of HDPE. First, I had to rip about 1/2" off the length with a circular saw to bring it down to 96" flat:
Then, measure and cut the slots on the bottom shelf with a jig saw:
I'm happy with the finished product and ready to drop the sump in the bottom and the tank on the top:
Most of the equipment has arrived, but a few things got delayed and others I haven't ordered yet:
And we've gotta zoom-in on the Abyzz boxes. Yes, that's three A200's and one A100:
The sump was supposed to ship today, but I have a feeling it will be delayed. I'll post more once things start coming together.
If you design a light rack stand to have space from the tank and it's stand. You could have a false wall/splashback between the tank stand and light rack stand. If the false wall/splashback is to the height of the canopy, it will hide the light rack stand, giving the light canopy a floating look.
That skimmer looks very cool. Wish I had a tank big enough to support its use! I need a mini version of that thing. Industrial looking.
Maybe they'll make me a one-off small version to match the looks of the commerical ones. The Xflo probably isn't much more of a skimmer than my Lifereef. I sent them an email. If anything, I learned about Hayward flow valves from you on the skimmer. I have my new tank and sump, waiting on the stand. So that gives me some cool equipment to start plumbing! Too bad they don't make any gate valves. Looking forward to seeing how you plumb yours since it might be a while until my stand arrives. I can use some pointers!
Looks great! I’m curious if there was a specific reason you went with that stand height? Maybe it’s the pictures but the sump access looks tough. Let me know if you need any more Orpheks before you buy any additional
