Here’s a look at the wire management and control system inside the cabinet.

New rockwork looks great!. Love the minimalistic approach, and the negative space!. Cabinet looks sharp. Nice and clean. I'm sure you mentioned it, but what is the glass shelf for?

Hey there. That shelf is for the dosing pump. Eventually I will go to the Apex dos. In the meantime I have a four channel I can use.

Tank starting to come in. Water is still a bit cloudy. Starting to add some sticks to the tank. Here’s a look at the scape and a look under the hood.

Long time no update. Tank is really starting to look good.

Dipping corals so I can start placing them in their final location within the tank.

I decided to go with the Nero 5 by AI rather than the Neptune Apex wav pumps. I like the sleekness and design of the AI pumps. I’ll keep you posted on performance.

WoW. WoW. WoW. this is a great set up, the tank look fantastic. Its given me loads of inspiration, a fantastic documentation of your build. Im just about to order a Reefer 425xl myself I can't wait to get started. Congratulations I hope to see lots more on the journey of your setup.

That cable management is great! I am currently trying to figure something out myself and yours looks great and perhaps fairly easy to set up? It looks like you have the plexi attached using magnets? Can you go over how you set that up and where you got the equipment?
