What an amazing build. Great planning and attention to detail, Andy.
I am concerned about that chiller enclosure though. Boxing it in like that with limited air flow will really cut down on the chillers ability to cool. You may want to put some fans in there to pull air through the box.

you can also build some PVC/acrylic sheets to where you can channel the exhaust flow to the vent in the back. but like that, it has the ability to circulate the flow which will reduce efficiency

This is my 4th one to put in this type box. I put a fan at each end, one blowing in & one out. When the chiller kicks on so do the fans.
Then I put a pieces of pink foam to form a chamber for the air "tunnel" First one I did 12 yrs ago Third one I did for my 200 a few yrs ago Notice the fans & foam insulation

Canopy & stand 90% complete. Still have to install top of canopy & boards to go between doors to keep light from coming out.
What do you think?

is there any difference in having the LED's stacked in front of each other, verses staggered/offset

How hard is it going to be to get the canopy off, when needed?

AJT - great looking build, I can appreciate what you've gone through with the Schedule 80.
I'm just curious if you and your wife have tried sleeping with the Vortechs on yet? |

I love the build so far. It nice to see another person with an aquarium in their bedroom like me. But I am no where near that size. Great progress. Tagging along.

I kind of like the hum of the hammerhead. Guess I will find out tomorrow how loud the vortecs are. This is taking 10 times longer than I thought. I am worn out...

I love the 10 footmin tanks! Any reason you went with a steel stand over a wooden stand? Nice rock work too by the way :-)
