My soon to be upgrade

Well the next step I took was the electrical wall. Right now the fridge is there but it is being moved to the otherside of the kitchen. Then I will be making a 42"x42" closet w/ steel shelves and a 2" drain. It will house all the lighting equiptment, chiller, external skimmer, external return pump, RO/DI, controller, supplements and possibly top off bucket. In the ceiling I have a large panasonic whisper exhaust fan which will be on a timer so that when the lights are on so is it. I also have a 50 pint per day dehumidifer going in it also. There is a 2' opening from this closet to the back of the tank. I decided on this so that the heat from the lights have room to circulate more and the exhaust can pull it out. The electrical wall is made of 3/4" plywood instead of sheetrock. Now I can screw everything to it and not have to worry about hitting a beam I painted it a waterproofer and I will do the same to the walls and ceiling
