300xl Build

[Sean Clark]

I edited post with a link to youtube see if this works better. Thanks for letting me know a change was needed

Oh yes much better, that doesn't feel right. Much worse... well that doesn't feel right either.

I can hear it now and well it sounds like the magnets (Wet-side dry-side) are slightly out of alignment. You may need to turn (rotate) the wet-side slightly to get the magnets to sync.

Or you have too thick of spaces on the dry sides for your glass thickness.

Yes at the time I double checked the spacer thickness with the manual. I did adjust the wet and dry sides that did take care of part of it. just a squeak left that has now stop

I usually worry about squeaks when they stop. That tends to mean that whatever it was broke and should be easy to identify.

Mostly done with water station. nothing to special for the most part just copied what others have done.

added power for the Panworld pump GFCI with build in switch. added a wifi plug to be able to turn on or off from anywhere in the house if needed

decided to add a couple of catch pans incase of future leaks. the next slid shows the plumbing to allow any water to drain to the other side of wall

My RO/DI system is on the other side of the wall of the storage containers

We live in the country so we are on a well and the TDS starts at 550 plus. I wanted the BRS pro series. for the most part just one of the DI resins depletes. the other two last a long time

the drain from the other side comes thru the wall just below the union. so if there is a leak on the tank side it will flow thru pipework and down to floor where the floor drain is. I also added these two water catches under the RO and DI units to also make sure water has smooth flow down to floor

I like all of the drip/spill trays.

I noticed an issue with my light as I was getting ready to hang it above the tank.
When I opened box heard some noise. at one point I seen a lose screw in the fixture
I contacted support and they sent a replacement. needed a smaller deposit until they get the one I have back. they overnighted the replacement. new one looks good and is now setup. Just sent the first fixture back.

Yesterday they confirmed the issue and will return the deposit. Overall the experience went well

Updating some pic of sump along with some shelves I've added to the doors

added these two smaller shelves to still allow the slide to clear when pulled out

This one is when the panel is pulled out

This pic is when the slide is in the cabinet. I still have some wire management to complete

The shelf on the left door. perfect fit to allow Redsea's auto top to remain in its place

Sump
The flexible tube is for the UV. I have a separate auto top tank sitting beside the stand.
Thinking of changing the Redsea top off to a refugium

Here is the top off tank on the left side of tank
Advanced Acrylics 6" narrow fit auto top tank. got this one to fit the space that i had available

What are the catch basins you used for the RODI unit?

These are tankless water heater pans. I order them from amazon at the time. they are a bit spendy at 70 each. I'm happy that I have them keeps water only where I want it
