Dan's 150 Rebuild

Just spoke with my sump guy. Says he's gonna ship out Tuesday more than likely and it takes 3 days usually. So it'll come in Friday if all is well. May be able to do something this Saturday as long as I don't work late.
 
Update, got my extra Eb8 in the mail this morning so only need a few more add ons for the apex.

Ryan(sump guy) hasn't sent me any pics yet. Said he'd more than likely ship out yesterday but I haven't heard from him nor has he sent me the remainder of the bill so not sure what's going on there :/ hopefully I can get some insight today.
 
Starting mounting up the apex to my old shelf I had inside the stand. Figure I had it laying around, mind as well use it. Got a few more modules I wanna get but I think it'll turn out nice once completed.

Got pics of my sump today. He accidently did 7in sock holders instead of 4in. No biggie I suppose. Takes up a little more space then I'd like but it is what it is. Can't change it now. He did say he's gonna give me an interchangeable piece to go from 7 and 4" and vice versa so that's cool. He's also going to make probe spots and dosing holes for the future. When looking at these pics, it looks really small but its big according to him. 48x16x16. Should ship out tomorrow or Friday.

Nice, I will say that a fuge that has solid color walls is a real bonus. You won't get algae growing where you don't want it. My baffles are a solid white and my skimmer section always was clean.
 
Ladies and Gents, Christmas has come early! Its a lot bigger than the previous pics make it look, I'm so happy with it

Thanks guys! The only thing I'm having trouble wrapping my head around is the ATO tank. It definitely won't work with a JBJ ATO system. Guess I will have to buy that Smart ATO since its magnetic
 
Dan, what problem are you having with the ATO. Not really following you on why the JBJ won't work.
It works when it wants to. The float will be down and the box will have the lights on but nothing will pump. Ive unhooked the lines a few times and turned it on. Worked when it wanted to. And sometimes the float will be down and the light won't be on. Dunno its weird. I wanna fix it tho bc I wanna use it for my smaller tank eventually.

EDIT: I'm an idiot. I'm thinking the float will have to go in the ATO lol disregard that post
