Hi All, Happy New Year! few updates the tank has cleared and now built my first base to start adding from the big tank.

here I started pulling from the big tank and it sorta fell into placement with the rock organization I just hope the corals like their new spots with the new lights!

 

[Tom Blevins]

We opted to put a canopy on it so it's getting built as we speak, I might have the Octo-Lid for sale
one gentleman on here is interested so I will let you all know if he passes or PM me if interested.
Also ordered a twin 60" t5 fixture to add to the mix up front and going to use our current Reefbrite 60" blue on the back side of the Hydra's.

Regards
Tom

Update on this, I did not go though with the canopy, I added diffusers

Little update, finally starting to get my colors back, still dealing with a Cyano but not bad, the turf scrubber
is really kicking in now.

Really nice 750 Reefer.

Are you using any kind of skinner?

 

[Dyraxe]

How do you like those Coral Box QP-16 wave making pumps? Are they quiet with nice flow?
Also can I see the turf scrubber?

How long is your sump and what is the largest sump that would fit under the stand? Could a 44” sump fit without modification?

 

[Tom Blevins]

it's a 40 gallon sump

I’ve been looking for the internal dimensions of the stand so that I can be sure the sump will fit but haven’t found anything. If you get a change I would really appreciate it.
