Great start. Where did you get that screen top built?

I really like the 525xl. I wish that they were out when I got my 450. Nice build!

Nice looking build so far. Looks like you got a lot of cool toys to run it.

I saw someone did two XR30s and a XR15 in the middle.

Ok thanks. Looking at getting the 525xl and using 2 or maybe 3 of the xr30w pro's .

What's the best way to do a leak check on the tank and all the plumbing????? Should I add my rock and sand then fill with water then run the pump. Then add salt after I know there are no leaks????? I don't have a clue of the best way to do it???? Help lol

I got my saltwater from my LFS and added it down the overflow from a smaller bucket to check if there was any water leaks. If it's fine then I added the rest in the tank then filled the sump and then turned the pump on.

Lol! Just pour some water into the overflow boxes. If it drips, your bulkhead is leaking! Other than that the reefer is pretty foolproof

Oh wait you did a custom manifold.:: so don't let that leak either!

Mounting the new apex unit with the new design I might have to rearrange from my original cabinet configuration.

Looking back at your control panel, can you tell me the name of the hinges
you used?

Not sure if I like how this looks but I think I'm going to stick with it for now. I also have a kindle fire that I'm going to mount on the outside of the cabinet for an external display that I can remove and see with out opening the cabinet.
