I almost ordered my custom Sump from them, but it came down that week we were talking so they told me they couldn't make it. It's unfortunate about the quality, good to see you are able to use the tank. Hope it goes well.

I’m watching a couple of the bubbles closely. Thus far, I’ve not seen them grow any. Other than the bubbles, the tank is built like a ... tank. With the full double-pane glass bottom in addition to the layer of ABS, I’m hoping it can stand the test of time.
in the end, it took 36 hours for my RODI system to fill the tank and sump. After waiting a couple of days for the salinity and temperature to stabilize (and figuring out how to make my bean animal overflow silent - hint: air is the enemy), I spent most of the day today moving everything over. Thankfully it was a short trip from the old tank to new
Tomorrow I’ll spend some time hooking the apex back up and figuring out a better solution for mounting my lights over the center of the tank.

A few pics of the tank from a bit ago. Currently away from it and have been monitoring things closely on the Apex. I set up an automated feeder and replenished the ATO before I left, but it still makes me anxious being away for so long!
