The front doesn't have much room to put a label. I have mine mounted so I could easily put a label on the side by each switch. I only have 3 things plugged into it at the moment, so I can remember which switch is for what.

[mfinn]

I guess since the switches are numbered, just a number on the pump or just a list on the door.

First - Fantastic job Ereefic.

In answer to the above question it is much easier to lable the switches if you mount the device vertically rather than horizontally. That is what I have done and now there is ample room for lables above each switch. I know it can't work for everyone, but it works great for me.

Nice looking tank, I am more of a do it your self person. I use to build custom kitchens and what not. I am no pro, but For as much as I am sure you spend on that stand. I would have the doors made to be raised pannel instead. I think it looks like a really nice stand. I just wish he would have made the doors as nice as he made everything else.

[mfinn]

I like the doors the way they are. In fact it is very similar to the way I did mine. I like the straight clean lines. Puts the spotlight on the tank.

[Ereefic]

Yeah, I'm happy with it the way it is. Raised panel doors would have been more work for him which would have been more money for me.

How's the tank coming along?

It looks great!

[Ereefic]

Everything is cruising right along and hasn't skipped a beat.

Eric, how's that skimmer? Is that one light doing the job so far? Add any new goodies?

[Ereefic]

I'm pretty happy with the skimmer, seems to working pretty well. Here's a pic with about 24hrs. worth of skimmate.



The one light is doing it's job, things are growing already.

Only new equipment goodie is a Reef Fanatic pH Monitor, which should be here next week. I'll work on getting some coral pics up now.
