Looks great! Can't wait to get water in mine!

I was going to wait a bit before doing this, but got a great deal from Advanced Acrylics on a 20 gallon PVC/Hybrid Acrylic ATO Reservoir. Going to be using the Neptune ATO Kit with it.

This will make it much easier to work around sump with the Red Sea ATO out of the way.

That ATO container looks great!!!

Neptune ATK installed. Cleared up so much space.

ooo very nice build! I just got a xxl 625 myslf and love it! Have you thought about running the radeons sideways for better front to back coverage? A friend of mine is running one and his SPS is dead on the shadow side of the stick but alive where the light hits, hope this helps. I just ordered the 5280 pod bundle myself from Algae Barn. Got a first time customer buy one get one free deal. Was everything alive?

Beautiful tank, a few questions if you don't mind.
In the skimmer section of the sump, there are 2 set of preset black strips that you can put the baffle in it and turn that big section into a refugium (front section) and a section for skimmer (back section).
If you put the baffle into the first set of strips, what is the dimensions of the refugium? and if you put the baffle into the second set of strips, what is the dimension of the refugium?
Is there enough space for you to put the skimmer into the section in the front and then use the back section for a refugium?

thanks

I'll for sure run it sideways if needed. Without any corals, I don't ever turn them on except to show friends and family.

In regards to the pods, things seem to be moving around. So I think something is alive. I need a magnifying glass for a better look.
