@tekkengal here are some pics of the sump layout of the reefer range. Inlet that goes over into 4 fitersocks. Then you have a moveable acrylic baffle that divides a big chamber into 2 sections of your choice of size. Then you have a baffle that you can set the height of the water in the whole sump with. Bubble trap and lastly the return chamber View attachment 191440

Thanks, appreciate the pics! I like the semi modular way they went with the sump. It is really making my tank feel outdated! :lol:
 
So guys light units are up. Few questions.

Do i put the dual T5 unit infront or at the back of the tank?
What bulbs to i add to the T5 unit. Only has actinic and white in now i think. A suggestion was 2 ATI blue plus.
How long do i run them per day with the leds?

Looking great man! This will be stellar....cannot wait to see how it all comes together!!!!
 
So a quick update. Tank is running good. Consuming quite a bit of top up water. Aircon getting installed tomorrow so hope that will help a bit with the temp. Got some macro algea from @Jaco hall. Thanks bud. Labelled all my plugs but still need to get a decent double sided tape to stick my controllers to the sides. The ones that came with the controllers only stuck for 2 days and controllers started falling off. My first tangs are landing on Monday and then going into QT. They will stay in QT till all of them are together and the last one also went through QT. Want to add them all at the same time. Thanks to @Atilla for that

So i modified a phosban reactor to run my bio cubes inside it. Drilled a hole through the bottom side for the airline and airstone. Added the cubes and drilled 2mm holes in the downpipe so that the water the pump pumps into the reactor doesnt only come out the bottom. Looks like its working good.
