It's still a work in progress and still have a bunch of stuff to finish in the basment in the fish / sump room
 
The setup looks so clean and sleek, with all that plumbing and equipment hiding away. Must make the wife happy.
 
Here is a little update to half of my water change ritual. And the tank is cycled going fish shopping tomorrow!!!!!!

I use ro water for my humidifier ( yes my house is dry ) and told my wife last night to turn the ro off before going to bed and of course it was on this morning. Good thing it was in the sink filling a bucket. It happens to everyone, like a right of passage lol and if you forget that right it’ll come back to remind us :)
 
Coming along nicely... we should talk about a softie grow out ;). Awesome sized leathers!

Paul, I've flooded my little kitchen and tank room at least 10 times before I bought a float valve.
 
So just hit my 1 year tank adversary. It's been a good year nothing crazy bad some fish lose some algea out break but not much I wasnt really expecting except the recent snail got into one of my overflows returns and clogged it the other one took the flow so no mess so wasnt a big issue. So here are some pics of the tank currently.
