Hi all,

Decided to have my tank built as a divider between my study and dining room. Just completed the renovations on my house. The photographs were taken while the renovations were still in progress, please excuse the poor quality.

All comments and advice are fully welcome!

Thanks for viewing!

Aircon guys did the piping for chiller which will be located at the aircon ledge just outside the study room window!

[daimy068]

Chiller pipings insulated with the foamy-rubbery insulation the aircon guys use for their pipings!

Here's the aluminium lighting rack. Idea and contact from Weisoon. Thanks Weisoon! BTW, his is the prototype! Contractor helped drill the holes for mounting the sliding rail onto the ceiling.

Here's a close-up of the lighting rack. Decided to add one more vertical strut to reduce lateral sway.

Here's the electrics! The above is an ECB with individual electronic timers for my lights courtesy of dt8666! Thanks bro! The lightings ECB will be on the same circuit as the chiller so if chiller kaput, lights go off. Additional ECB and powerpoints for the rest of equipment.

All electrics for the tank are directly tapped from the mains and not from the main home ECB. Therefore, if any appliances at home trip, it'll not affect the operation of the tank and vice-versa!

Fan cheapo brand but works to circulate air around the equipment area.
