So, you decided to remove all or just a set of filter socks? Just wondering the reasoning. They can be a pain when they get clogged and the water level rises.

I removed all. Yeah it's a pain...

DDR / DŌS in place and running... [emoji1009]

How did you make that beautiful console with the back lighting??? Just setting up my 5526, would love to make a similar console to hide the wires...

Any updates on this tank? Especially since you've removed the socks. Alot of great ideas here that ill be borrowing for my 6026 coming soon.

Removed filter socks and added clarisea 5000k to my WB5526. I also added the new ice cap algae scrubber. Tank, sump, aquascapping and electronics all setup by the fabulously talented Justin Burkhart!!!!

Very nice. Any more pics of the sump?

Curious how the filter roller is installed...

Are there any metal pieces on the ice so scrubber for the lights/mount? Looks to be all plastic...

yeah we want updates...LOL
pretty sure I am gonna get this set up or the 6026?

I know someone aske about this but at 1st i thought it was a design flaw that the electronics where in the 1st cabinet under the water plumbing. seams like it would be safer to take one cord form the wall over sump to power the goodies? guess I'll have to ask WB about this. prob. little chance of leaking but if it does that lots of $$ in there.

thanks for all the pics it really has helped me out!

I have 2 MP40s...on both sides of the overflow.

One or two MP 40s on each side? So far, are you happy with the flow? On so many standard tanks of this size I see power heads placed throughout the tank. Good flow seems daunting in a peninsula. Thanks so much for your step by step, amazing tank and work you've done. I have this same tank on its way.
