One my buddies is going to school for marine biology and has been a huge help in getting this tank setup so quick . I will be ordering 4 1 inch rfg attachments next week . I even showed my LFS them and they are extremely interested . They have a sps system with 4 sea swirls also .

I’ve been very impressed with both spectrapure units considering the volumes of water I need . Half of the radions for the 1000g came in . ;Woot

Nice! we'll be ready when you are. I think four of the 1in Random Flow Generators will rock this tank. Can;t wait to see it.
Let your LFS know if they are interested to reach out to us

I know you are working on the 1" Sea Swirl connections but you should really get one in house, measure the 1" elbow, and design a slip fitting based RFG that just slides on. Angle it down 15 - 20 degrees and we won't have a multi inch extension on it. Since these are 3d printed should be a no brainer to bust out. If you do this - just remember me...

OP - nice tank. I have a pair of 1" Sea Swirls - love them. Everything I've read so far in the thread, thanks for sharing. Great reading!

This hobby is all about helping each other out , I’ve gotten many of my ideas from watching other people’s builds .

Worked on the 1000g sump system . This vat will be where the tank drains to and will hold live rock , then drain into a 400g refugium . The 55g water tanks should be showing up this week .

Been working on it, and i think i have a solution. PM me or email me and I'll share the details - don't want to derail this awesome build thread.

Tank is filled now and started filling the sump last night . 200 gallons left and time to turn the pumps on . ;Woot
