Much appreciated!

Nice build, really clean! What are those flat round plugs you have in your apex power strip? Are they just short extension cords? That looks really clean. About to work on my cabling as well.

Thank you very much! They are indeed short, rotating ext cords. These are the Nektech brand. They are great, makes the control board look clean. Glad you like!

How goes the tank

Still cycling :/

How long has your cycle been going

How long has your cycle been going

3 months. Nitrites are slow to change over.

Custom screen by Toplids. It was pricey but worth it! Customer service was 10/10. Took about 6 weeks to arrive

Lid looks really nice. I wonder where I can find that kind of mesh.

That lid is so sexy! Can't wait to hear what you think of the Plank feeder. Thought about picking up one. Your tank is coming along nicely. I like the idea of the controls on the outside. I need to update my thread. Been off reef2reef for a while.

Nice I’m waiting on a lid from clearview lids for my 100EXT,

This mesh is great Bc those little baby fish can’t jump out. And You can find anything if you look hard enough.

Thanks Mike. I’ve been off R2R for a min too. I haven’t had a chance to play with the plank yet but I’ll let you know how you works when it’s up and running. Gonna check out your thread now.

Nice bro, I’ll check out your thread so I can see that nice lid

Lights are up. Hung with toggle bolts. I decided to go with the best lights in the game, Ecotech Radions. I’m running 4 XR15 Gen 5 Pros. The rail, hanging lit, and rms slides are fantastic. Quarantine tank is setup with 5 Mollies. Tank is still cycling, but I’m confident it’ll be finished in another week or so. Happy reefing !!

Sweeet. Still waiting on it. Hopefully nobody jumps in the meantime. Should be here in the next few weeks

Tank is looking slick Keith! I’ve been wanting to pick up some Radions for my build, but I’m holding off to see if the Sky lives up to the hype. I’ve been waiting on my sump since October so it will probably be out before I’m at the coral stage. While I’ve been waiting I’ve been living through your build thread so keep the post coming.

Hmmm I’ve been having issues with the overflow. For most of the time the tank is silent I hear no water things are great. Then randomly I’ll hear my return pump sucking air for awhile then it’ll go back to normal silent with a constant water level.

I did the double 90 on the secondary drain, without the T with the cap though.

all weird to me. Thoughts?

Let the lights be the last thing you get. You may change your mind or they drop the gen6s lol

I originally had my gate valve tuned so the tank was dead silence (I just played w it by constantly turning it one way. Then the other) did this for a month. noticed some salt creep d/t splashes So I turned the gate. Less salt creep but I hear a small gurgle. I have also been runnin my tank at 84 so that could be related to the salt creep. I would just keep tweaking it
