Don't the synergy reef sumps just look amazing? I had them do the filter sock version of the 26" on my build. So clean and crisp!

There very well made and thought out.

Cool, I personally would make the rockwork higher up. Some corals like lots of light. haha

Nice, how much room is there between the wall and back of tank ?

Thank you. That's one reason why I went with Coast to Coast. Great communications from Chris Walker. And there only about 1 1/2 hours from me.

Chris is great! It was a joy working with them. I'm waiting on a very similar tank from CTC now, 36x20x26!

Looking forward to following the build and I appreciate the plumbing pictures, will help me in a few weeks time.

The Synergy sump. Bubble king double cone 130. UFO plant light I got on amazon which over the refugium with chaeto algae. Was running the light 12 hours reverse day light, but cut it back to about 6 hours. Due to no nitrate or phosphate. I started to feed more with the addition of the fish and get a little phosphate .015 I still cant get Nitrate to show so I started dosing a little Brightwell Neonitro.

That is a beautiful sump!

Here's the water station. Using a spectraPure Litremeter for ATO with a little Kalk. All parameters are stable PH 8.2 ALK 8.4 Phosphate .015 Nitrate barely color on test kit.

 

[john billelo]

First tank on right gets the RO/DI water. Then I pump to the Kalk tank which is the 2nd tank. The same pump mixes the kalk by just turning a few valves.

That is a beautiful sump!

Thanks. Very happy with the synergy sump.
