    The main tank just looks 👀 spectacular with crystal clear water, large corals, fish all look 👀 healthy, the smaller tank is a great 👍 addition.
    What a ingenious support system running these tanks, this all must have taken a lot of planning, and time to build and install, the weight alone must have taken some reinforcement of the flooring.
    On the follow up video Cam, you must cover how the water Change is done, and how long that takes.
    Also how long has this system been set up and running for ? 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

      Hi The chiller is a evoheat fusion i7. Is a inverter model so the power ramps up and down as needed. For my application runs at very low speed. I have is set on the silent mode which means it never runs over 50% power.

      I guess we looked at the light mount and battery backup as DIY. Ecotech make a light rail that Ben could have used, but instead he fashioned one out of some solar panel railing he had. He also could have bought the Ecotech battery backup to power a pump in the event of a power outage, but instead he made his own system out of car batteries. Cam

      @@GalleryAquaticaTV mix matching parts doesn't constitute DIY, for example using a different battery for a battery backup is not DIY. Making a homemade battery or making battery backup controller from scratch would be DIY.
      I would give you the light mount, if I couldn't walk into any hardware store and buy a aluminum light rail mount kit that looks exactly like what he is using. Building things from scratch is DIY, buying pre-made items and using for their intended purposes is not DIY. For example, buy a industrial chiller and use as a chiller or buying a car battery and using it as a battery.

      Again using a battery as a battery or an aluminum mounting rail as a mounting rail is not DIY. building the stand was but you did really talk about it.
