Hey good to see you on here! Yeah not sure but they probably just need to upgrade something on MASC lol. I'm sure the Hydras ill be good. i had the pre HD ones and those were awesome at growing stuff. I'm guessing another month before I start popping coral in lol
I've got a friend with 4 of the small ones over a marineland 150DD. The colors and polyp extension is amazing. I'm a halide and t5 guy myself but led's are looking better and better. Thinking of doing 4 t5 and 3 hydra 52's on my next build.

nope not yet. I have 8 fish in there right now. i plan on posting a video soon. I asked someone to get me some anthias but he's dragging his feet about it. I have 2 bangaii cardinals, these were the initial cycling fish. 1 midas blenny, 1 tri color fairy wrasse, 1 flame wrasse, 2 grade A picasso clownfish and a diamond goby. I just added the goby and the water has been cloudy since ugh lol

Hey Denvercherub! How's it going?
The tank is looking great!
Ours arrived on Friday (thread here if you're interested - Katie & Jon's Red Sea Reefer 625

Could I ask you a quick question if you don't mind please?
Did you have trouble getting the middle pipe down from the weir to clip into that clip on the right hand side of the cabinet. We found it's almost like the holes are drilled a couple of mm out of place. Only way we could get it to clip in meant the pipe screwed onto the downpipe wonky and the thread wasn't aligned?

so sorry for the delay! I forgot about this post, I read it in bed on a tablet. I had my aquarium built so i have no idea what happened with that. I can take a picture if you need. Your sump came with nice cups! Mine came with screen socks.

Hey, no worries.
We've worked it out now. We made a silly mistake when building it! When we put the tank on the stand we lined up the front of the tank with the front of the stand, although did think it was a bit strange the back glass overhung the back of the tank. What we didn't account for was the fact the doors weren't on, so the whole tank was sitting about 15mm too far back on the stand which meant the pipes didn't align! Tank moved and all working perfectly now!
Oh we didn't get the cups with the tank, we bought them separately as I can't be doing with washing filter socks all the time. We'll just put floss in them and change it out when needed.

We're in the UK - got them here: https://www.littleocean.co.uk/shop/crud-catcher-high-flow.html
Before I found these I was chatting to a company in Oz called Anything Acrylic and they make them too. The do ship to the US but it's expensive.
