Tonight’s a super worm moon... I hope I don’t find any super worms!! When I emptied out the 10 gallon I found a nasty bobbit worm. It was sick and looked like it was straight out of the alien movie. *shudders* :rolleyes: On a more calming thought... Here’s a pic of the tank tonight with the...

Is the sump for the 200XL the identical sump to the Reefer 170?

I know it’s the same design (no refugium). The 200xl sump is 19” deep and 17” wide.

Once I purchase mine I plan on utilize the top off portion as a refugium. There’s a few different videos on how to transform it.

I just set up my 525xl a few weeks ago. Obviously a much larger tank but so far I love the design. There is just never enough storage below any tank haha!

Tell me about it. I promised I wouldn’t have anything outside of the cabinet... it’s gonna be hard to keep that promise! I’m already looking at a bigger ATO and there’s only one place for it... next to the cabinet

They are not. I thought they would but the specs on the site are different size and I got the measurements from RS today about some I wanted, was looking for the refugium size.

It is dark in the photo but what is the black box on the left hand side where your pump controllers are mounted? Also I like that little shelf, where can I get one lol?
