Planeden Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Auto-top off-cabinet-tron...you crack me up. The work surface is a nice touch, too. Edit.

+Capt. Obvious Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 Every single cord, pipe and tube has been run! This is the "final" result (the long black hose on the left is temporary and used for the 14 day zeovit start cycle pump and will eventually be attached to the top manifold port on the right) In this picture there are cords ran for 2 heaters skimmer pump Temporary zeovit pump Zeovit reactor Temperature probe PH probe ATO infared sensor ATO float switch Ground probe Pictured hoses: 4 x dosing lines (colored lines ...thanks Ian) ATO line Inbound zeovit pump Outbound from zeovit reactor I also cut bezel/lid for the sump out of the remaining colorplast (it is 2 pieces and easily removable) Zero zip ties have been used 6 Velcro cable wraps have been used as well as 1 small binder clip What do you guys think (other than the fact it is time to empty the skimmer)?
