Nope everything moves as it should. I broke it down and used an extra union to keep it all smaller and more manageable during painting. I used Krylon Fusion for plastic. Seems to have a great track record for below waterline usage. However I wont je it below the line. I have a small piece of black pvc to connect from my pump to manifold, and I'm using black ABS for a drain.

Picked up a ATI 6x54w Sunpower with reflectors that looked like they were in a war. 1 fan also didnt work. Previous owner said he didnt use the acrylic shield as well. Which is probably why the fixture looked so bad. Without the shield the fans are useless and do nothing. Eventually heat buildup will kill them
I dont know why people pay so much money for the best in this hobby just to not take care of it.
Well I got a good deal and didnt mind putting a little money into it.
Took it apart and cleaned it up. New reflectors and a new fan to replace the dead one. Reassembled and good as new.

Fun day today.
First my ATO reservoir came in and it has a cracked drawer.
It is the innovative marine 15g reservoir.
So I need to wait on a new drawer. Marine depot is already on it.
Then in a leak test for the system I, well, found a leak.
90g filled and all was going well then when the sump was about halfway filled I noticed water coming from under the stand.
I rushed to shut everything down and grabbed some beach towels. Lost a few gal of water through a tiny hole in corner of sump. Genius me never tested sump for leaks.
Called petco and of course $1 per gal sale is done, but they will replace for me. Lucky me. Pulled the baffles and off to petco for a new breeder

So new sump in place, leak/plumbing check is all good. And starting to get equipment set up.
Apex EL in place and rolling.
Refugium light and reactors all good to go too.
ATO Reservoir installed(still need to mount ATO switch)
Cant really get a pic of the Apex. Its mounted on the back of the stand. With just enough wiggle room to do what needs to be done.
I had to make some adjustments to the overflow plumbing. Take came with the Aqueon megaflow plumbing, but it's just to loud. So I pulled that a made my own durso. Water going to the sump however sounded like a waterfall. So I had to make some adjustments and ended up setting up a reverse durso. I can still hear it. But the water is falling almost 4ft so it's kind of expected. But once it's up and running and gets a good slime coating it should quiet down a little more. When I get some time, I'll pull that and paint it black as well.
Getting closer

Yep is from Amazon right around $35 if I remember correctly. It's the one that Asonitez had the video about a few months back.
