    By the way, what is that mounted on the tripod in this picture?

    Is that phone hanging on the wall, the direct line to Pet Connection?

    It's a webcam. He travels out of the country for several weeks at a stretch for business and he uses this to keep tabs on his monitors and sump levels.

    All that just to look at the monitors. Why not hook him up with a RKElite with net module, then the camera can watch the tank, fish and corals.
    So jealous....

    Yeah, just took these pics last week and hadn't seen the setup for several years. Didn't know he had hooked a webcam up to it or I would have recommended a controller sooner. He's been very happy with this set up and is simple enough. The webcam is wireless and is able to pan so he can see all the equipment.

    Super nice!

    I love the clean sterile look of the sump room. The white walls make it look like a Lab/OR.

    And why can't everyone have panels like that on thier inwall setups?!?!?

    $ though I guess you could do the same thing with a cheaper would than cherry . Also it's hard to find a good cabinet maker for custom installations IMO.
