check out the front view of the sump, the return pump has an open T in that area, but its pointing the wrong way?
Rockstar instead of coffee?

I wasn't going to say anything, but...
Water change drain. That’s going to go straight to the home’s sewage line.
That is the correct way. There will be a water fill line coming from the garage from under the floor to fill the tank (using the return line) with fresh saltwater.
I am getting too old for this shit, Eric. Needs something more “heavy duty”…lol
Nice! Done in 7 days?!
Looks like the side panels of the stand are all doors as well? I love it when everywhere in the sump is easy-access.
I like the look of the Kessils with the narrow reflectors mounted up high but I’m concerned the coverage/spread won’t be so great. It’ll be interesting to how you do the landscaping with the deep square footprint and lights from the middle.

Yep. 3 days of plumbing and 3.5 days of cable dressing. 0.5 day of slacking off…that’s mandatory…lol
The Kessils are on swivel mounts so it was super easy to target the light exactly where I need it. Additionally, they are mounted about 25% toward the front of the tank so very little was spill outside the target area to blind the client while he’s watching TV. The other added benefit is that it should really minimize the shadowing affect on the front of the tank due to different angles of the point source beams. And finally, if more light is needed in the future, adding more to the T-channel strut would be fairly easy to do.
I’ll know for sure once the aquascaping are done next week.
