Well its long overdue but here is the current update on my build!
1705527086590.png

Apex is setup and it has helped me keep everything in check!
*FMM is hooked up to monitor my return line and skimmer GPH
*Keeping the tank at 1100GPH cycling
*Skimmer is turning 800GPH and has helped pull more junk out

Have new Orphek light bars in, waiting for the new wifi systems to come available and 4 more 60" bars will be ordered

Manifold is in now and tired to my skimmer, bio-pellet reactor, and carbon reactor. Have plenty of room to expand for my UV and Bashsea 8-30 Bioreactor

Skimmer is working great! Externally plumbed and still around 800GPH running through it

So is the skimmer supply ran from the manifold or an external pump? I believe you mentioned both.

Yes the skimmer is the end of the line since it requires so much flow. I will be adding the bio reactor and media chambers to it as well and having the pump at about 85% (4000pgh flow)

I'm adding apex flow monitors to each line so I can adjust the gate valves for flow.

I'm guessing you're using an adjustable DC return pump, right?
