all 4 of mine work on 3/4” glass and have for 3 years. Make sure you have the thin spacer On the dry side.

Yea I had the right spacer (none lol), I’m gonna try again when the temp/salinity is set.
I was going to hook up all my flow pumps to help mix .
Anyone have an extra gyre flow diverter? 350 even?

Just hung the lights (they are a bit crooked). T5 only. So many small projects or upgrades really kept delaying me. Notes:
-attached the Radions with stainless bolts to the hybrid fixture (0.5” 10/32 size bolts. Some1 may find that useful someday).
-Mounting the Radion ballasts is a real pain. Will be on the wall to the left in an adaptive reef board. Really like this thing. I had a buncha rewards at BRS and bought one.
-refugium is going to have to be remote. I got a small 10g cube that I’m going to locate above the make up reservoir.
-Did I mention this WaterBox stand, sump isn’t really ideal for a Reef? I hear their new models are much better :/.

Incremental.
Still kinda fighting getting sick of the whole hobby a few times.
Lots of losses in the sump I had running for my favorite fish. Went from doing great to dead with a day. Looked a bit like brook.
So yea......
Tank is beautiful btw, I’m so annoyed by the sump, stand layout I don’t wanna forget to mention that. Plumbing was an absolute dream. Stand quality is top notch, I really like the coating on the white portions. Kind a matte white.

You have all the right components and it’s gonna make a pretty slick setup. It already does. I’m sure you will get all the rest worked out. Keep on keepin on.
That didn’t take you long. You must have more energy than me. 
Coming along nicely
I just installed a American DJ on one side of my stand today and will get the other side in the morning. This way I’ll have easy on/off power until I get a controller later. If you can install horizontally because I did the last ones vertical and it was annoying over time trying to turn them on/off and bending down to look.Late night Amazon buy.

80lbs of sand in, I like the look of it. Not looking for more than around an inch.
The Sicce is louder than I’d like, pretty loud for a DC pump. Found a few things on r2r about it.
Might give them a holler and get their take on it.
This weekend is really all about finishing up cable management, hiding cords.
Got the second of two adaptive reef boards in plus a variety of cable management goodies.
Few plumbing tweaks. Still so much to do. Sheesh.

My Sicce was loud too. Great little pumps, but I avoided it on my new reactor.
Eheim. Not dc but... eheim. quiet, efficient and robust.
