    I love the rocker switch; very War Games of you. So the part with the LEDs that you held is only an indicator of a charge?

    What was the total cost of components? I need one for my Majanos and Aiptasia.

    Lots of neat stuff going on in this project. I have a couple of areas of concern:

    1) the rubber boot to the clean out drain trap. Those fitting have a 1/2" socket rather than the kind that have a 1" (to 1.25" socket). There's not a lot of surface to glue your plumbing into. Additionally, the rubber may grow brittle and crack, so do check on it from time to time to make sure it is in good shape.

    2) the calcium reactor is on a shelf above what appears to be electrical components. Reactors can leak from time to time, so I'd recommend you have it in a tray with a bulkhead/drain system to the sump to keep the floor dry and the electrical safe.

    Thanks for sharing your project with us.

    "HAT" I used a 1/2" drill bit and went throught all the rocks with a acrylic rod, on the horizonal peices i did the same and drilled a horizonal hole into the vertical and were the 2 meet i used putty
    it is a 90 gallon tank but to me it just looks bigger than other 90's i have seen might be the way the rock is... the sump is a 55 gallon tank

    I have two questions: How many gallons is the tank? And, did you use two part putty to connect the rocks or what? ;-)
