Appreciate the shot of the sump. Wonder if you could use a sock filter cup? Be easier to clean and swap out the filter material.

I actually like the Trigger cube sump as the refugium section is right in front and easier to maintain. The only issue i am seeing is that the filter sock section seems to fill up and just overflows into the skimmer section via the top opening. Unless I have that section completely wrong...there's a filter sponge that lays on top of the filter sock and an acrylic piece to sit on top of it....I am going to try to restrict the flow a bit to see if it stops doing that.

Did a small water change over the weekend, split the return locline nozzle and added an RFG to each opening and also picked up an acro that has purple body with green tips from Neptune Aquatics to test the waters. (If you know the name of the acro, please let me know!) . Pic is blurry...sorry

havent really done much to my tank...just excited for the Coral Farmers Market this Saturday as I am sure ill be coming home with a bunch of coral frags! Planning to set up my doser (first time user), but I am not quite sure what to dose and how much to dose daily. I am sure it is dependent on how much corasl I have, but how do I measure how much Calcium/KH/Mag to dose? I have a brand new pack of the Red Sea Reef Foundation pack to use as well.

Closer pic of the acro using a Sony Alpha a6000...not sure if it helps much LOL

I just got a scoly yesterday so I don’t really have money to burn.. but I might go to check it out, see if there are any steals. I usually go every year. You going?

I saw this reef builders article. Figured you’d find it sweet as well, haha.
Carbon fiber plumbing!

If you thought colored PVC pipe was cool, just way until you get a look at the carbon fiber pipe that is starting to be used in some very high end reef aquarium plumbing work. We’ve always kept on eye…

Nice build! I'm leaning towards Cadlights as well although possibly the 100 gallon Artisan or 92 Gallon Versa II. Still liking the MDF Cabinet? (Hoping they run a Black Friday Sale like they did in 2018)

the cabinet is working out OK for me. Seems like it is better material than the other cheap MDF furniture pieces that I have assembled before during my lifetime...Only downside to CADlights is their uPVC plumbing which sucks cause it is hard to find anything uPVC locally if you want to custom your plumbing and are missing parts.

Beautiful tank. Love that idea for the sand, thats pretty creative! With that tank being a full system, is that the sump it came with, or did you upgrade to that one?
