will you do automatic water changing? that would be so sweet. I don't have the room for it...

I am not sure. I had it set up in my last tank and it was nice.
But now I think it will be so easy just to do weekly water changes that it’s not worth it.
I was changing 2 gallons a day so weekly I was changing 14 gallons.

14 gallons is not a lot on a 210 gallon system. Especially when I add the frag tanks.

I ran air line and RODI tubes across the room in the ceiling just in case I change my mind.

are you using ecotechs? working on my flow today, I tried to cheap out until later - had a bunch of maxijet900s lol laying around but I can see I'm going to have to order some pumps tonight. right now just to move debris of the rear corners and walls I'm using these tiny sunsun jvp 120s. 4 to do that little job, I'll wire then on the same circuit with a master switch. I may stick with those if they work. you can't even see them, they are in the back wall by the floor hidden by rock.

for my main flow, I think I'm going to grab a jebao scp150 and maybe an slw30. my return is a dcp15000 but I need a second return for the refugium. I've got a sicce 4.0 but that's really just a back up pump. like to have another dc pump on the refugium return.

Nah I don’t pay that echotech tax. I use blue line As my returns.

Right now I have this temporary sump setup.
With mag 18 and a jebabo return. Until I can build the frag tank stand.

that thing is huge. I know my 20g long will be cramped as hell. I just want to fit socks, skimmer, bricks and return though lol.

my last one was a 60 long and just more space than I could even use.

It will fit. I have done a small system with a 20g long As a sump and it works. Nothing fancy but 4” socks holder/ Skimmer and return.

Yesterday was a slow day. So i was able to setup my apex. I still haven’t configured everything I just setup the basic.
I made a decision to reset everything and start all over. So the apex was set back to factory default.
the probes are all off because I can’t calibrate them at the moment because I don’t have the different calibration fluid for salinity and ph.
maybe during the week I can take a trip to the LFS

So today we got a little more progress.
the frag stand got done.
the stand will accommodate 3 4’ x 24” frag tank. I will setup plumbing for 2 and setup the last one at a later time.

Yes I have it setup temporary while i setup another sump. It has served its purpose. It’s build like a tank

I had to stop plumbing yesterday. I couldn’t finish I needed some reducers and I need some more 1” pvc and Home Depot was closed. So today I have to go and see if I can finish. I am also in need of two 1” bulkheads.

So I finally picked up some corals from a local reefer @horseplay.
Frags are doing good. Sorry about the bad pick I Need to pick up a picture filter.

So I was able to add water and connect two frag tanks to my display. My display is a in wall 220 gallon that’s connected to 2 frag tanks 1 60 gallon Deep Blue (48 x 24 x12)and 1 50 zoomed low boy (48x24x10)
The 3 tank is a separate system a 40 gallon
Deep blue 36x24x12

I was also able to make the trip to
@DangerDave fish room and I pick up a few frags. His setup is very impressive and worth the drive. I will make another trip soon.

And last but not least I was also able to pick up 5 clownfish from @jhopiv. The fish have really nice coloring and are doing really good. If you need clowns for your new build you should definitely reach to him.
