I had to change somethings up. It's taking long but, i'm taking my time. Rock is in salt water and it's been about 9 months now. It might be up and running in or by July 2018.

Really nice setup

I had a setback of my new sump from Lifereef. Got damaged from shipping. UPS outsourced claims sucks. They won't approve the claim because the box does not have a rating stamp. Lifereef knows how to pack. The box is extremely heavy duty. Lifereef has been helping me with the repair and is fixed now. I also installed today (2) 20 amp circuits only for the tank for a total of 40 amps.

Nice! I also ran 2x20 amp circuits. Do you have those on gfci? They've saved my butt once or twice getting water on them, dried the outlet off and flipped it back on, no harm no foul.

Tank has been cycling since July 1 with some shrimp from the store. I did add live sand in tank. I still have .50 PPM Ammonia and 0 Nitrate. I did remove shrimp from tank a few days ago.

I still need to install light on this refugium.

Today i finished installing and wiring (3) Apex Pmups. I used (1) 24VDC power supply for all 3 Pmups and (1) rocker switch panel. I wanted to eliminate multiple plugs. I can change water and fill ATO with a flip of a switch now. No more buckets or hoses. 1 Pmup located in sump, 1 Pmup in saltwater mixing tank, and 1 Pmup in RODI tank. I even wired in a float switch so if i forget to turn off filling the ATO. Now i have to make it look pretty.
