I’m thinking 300.
Sweet. I will know tonight!
Comon Kev,
You know as well as we all do that once you add the water and fish it all goes downhill.
There's tons you can do with models and mirrors now-a-days.
I do unfortunately lol. I told a co-worker today that I forgot how expensive this was. I don’t even want to admit how much I spent on my lunch break today for the tank.
More progress!!!
Sump unboxed
Once again super happy with the quality. Also seems to be a decent amount of room for a pretty compact sump.
Plumbing was a breeze.
There are two drains. One is the main, the one with the fancy valve to regulate, and an emergency. The main drain came with an interesting piece that is supposed to make it very quiet. We shall see.
The return was just as simple just needs to be plumbed to my return pump with a piece of vinyl tubing. For where the water comes into the tank it came with a “splitter”. I put that on. Not sure if I will need Teflon like the single outlet I took off.

One thing I wasn’t able to get pictures of was the “bulkheads”. The design was interesting to me. The “nuts” are basically fused to the tank bottom. You thread the plumbing into them and tighten by turning the plumbing not the “nut.” It snugged up surprisingly well.
I was also able to mount the lights to the tank. I have been extremely impressed with the instructions for installation up until this point. The light installation instructions left much to be desired. I think it’s due to the fact that they used to use ai hydras for the “deluxe” setup but now offer their own Reef Led light. So the parts and instructions are basically a retrofit. I have always been a T5 guy but I’m willing to give these a chance. They really have a clean look to them. The deciding factor may be if I can figure out the app. As you guys know I’m not very tech savvy.
And here is where we stand.
My spectrapure order came today so I can change out all the canisters and membrane in my old RODI. So hopefully I’ll be making water soon.
And once again please excuse the messy kitchen. That will be a reoccurring theme with the tank placement…

Thanks man! Now to find some live rock!
Thank you very much. I will definitely let you know. The app seems pretty straightforward as of now. Haven’t had a chance to connect the light to it yet, hoping tonight.
Any thoughts on this? I’m thinking it may really come in handy for organizing. But also think I can make something similar for much less.
