Finally done. Ran out of the siporax and decided to use some marine pure balls I had.

Soooo this is where it ended up!
No idea what you're talking about. I bought it fair and square from a guy standing next to your booth for $20 cash. It didn't come with any kind of box or anything, but I'm fine with that for the discount.

Well the dang baffle was leaking, had to pull the water back out of the refugium section. Glued the bottom of the baffle with more weld on 42 and let it sit overnight. Held water for several hours now. So on with the filling.

Cody you need to come over and help me run two more 1/4" ro lines from tank to fish room so I can put the NOISY masterflex pump out in the fish room. :becky:

Added magnetic door switches so lights will turn on under tank when a door is opened.

Need to make some adjustments to float switches so they are all Normally Open. Once my terminal block gets in will be adding them to the break out box.

Oh I also purchased some macro algae today. Going to put it in the sump and see what it does. If it starts declining I will throw into my fish holding tank.

Starting to think the MP60's are too much pump if I want sand.

The 2 MP60's at 20% lol. The MP40's on the back aren't even powered on.

I just switched one pump to anti-sync last night. I need to move the sand back and see what happens now.
