Started playing with the light rack and I hate it. Fishroom is ready to hang two cabinets and start plumbing. So I’m moving along slow and steady. Electrician will be back this week to run a few more outlets and a 20amp 8’ long power bar in sump controller area.

Rooms all finished out got cabinets up sump is in and leveled. I went 2” off the wall is this enough looking for suggestions if I need to use magnets on the back side or for the return lines missing the drop in bulkheads for accessories. I’m thinking another 1/2” to 1” off the wall may be better…. Ordered some parts to revamp the light rack. That’s tomorrows project. Then I will level tank and center in opening and start piping it.

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
