Thanks Steve, I wanted to do something different. I was reluctanct at first but then it grew on me.

the refugim area is in the middle right??? if so isnt that to small.......just asking because i need a sump and i don't know much about them

Yes, the refugium is in the middle, I think it's a decent size. I had much smaller and had great success, so I'm very happy with this size so far.

Looking good man, can't wait to see it come along!

Thanks Jordan, I really like it. The rock work may look a little crazy but keep in mind I set it up that way with coral placement in mind. Every island will be coral species specific and a clam in the mid section by the sand bed.

Can wait to see a pic of those hermit crabs trying to go out of the water.
Looking nice bud!!,

Looks great. Seems like you followed the 5/3 scaping rule. Looks awesome. If your looking for some constructive criticism, I personally would have used gate valves for the reactors just for a little better fine tuning. Otherwise looks great man. Can't wait to see it stocked.

Yeah man, I think it's gonna be fun watching them do that.

Thanks for the compliments, you know I was about to get gate valves and then changed my mind. Just me being too lazy to make a few turns to close the valves, oh well. Gate valves would've been great, I had a hard time tuning the carbon reactor, lol

 

[Nottick]

Yeah that's the only difference is fine tuning. Good job.

Thanks, otherwise everything is going well so far. Have to decide on the skimmer. Bubble King, Vertex or a Reef Octopus. Probably will go with the Reef Octo since I had those before.

No update today, I was supposed to setup the Apex and run the surge protectors today but I promised the kids we'd have a fun day after school so that's gonna have to wait. Maybe tomorrow.
