I split a box of the marine pure balls between the two side baffles instead of filter socks

If you're referencing your pictures from this thread, then yes I saw. I like your setup. I contemplated a kessil a360, but ended up going radion g4 xr15. I am concerned about the spread for the single radion, however, the G4 is supposes to have excellent spread. I may hang the light to help. I did posted a build thread as well, but everything arrives tomorrow

Is there any floss or similar mechanical filter prior to pump chamber? Would love to see pics of this.

Nice. Check out bulk reef supplies videos on the radion. They go over different par reading from different heights.

I'll definitely take a look! Is your tank wet yet? I have seen a lot of people replace the stock pump...interested to hear your thoughts and see some updates as your build progresses.

 

[jtietz]

I think the stock pumps fine. It rotates both 360 spins. But you will need a wave maker.

I filled it last saturday. Still cycling

Can you post a picture of the sump of your AIO? Would love to specifically see the Marine Pure balls

Sweet! Love the shots. Very helpful. Wow that skimmer is tiny! How's it working for you? I was considering the HOB 1.5.

Thanks,
Jake

Also, what is that padding over the sump area?

I like the skimmer a lot its rated for 50 gallons. Fighting micro bubbles in display right now but im hoping they will subside since its still breaking in. The padding is a blk filter pad i cut to fit so it hides all the wires and probes.

It just cleans the look up a bit

How do you like the reactor? Can you or do you mind GFO/Carbon in the single unit?

Thanks,
Jake

Just finished my dosing system. Made a bracket on too with some connections. Going to run 6 dosing pumps. 3 for cal, alk, mag and 3 for the color program when that time comes.
