Nice setup and great job on the stand. I like the led strip inside the stand.

 

[jcs11236]

Thanks
Got the led strip from ikea.

Tank has been running smooth. Getting the hang of skimmer. Change out filter sock every 4 days. Change out gfo/carbon every two weeks. 6/6 tbsp of each in phosban reactor. No algae issues

Tank has been maintaning steady at 82 with small fan in sump. Tank has been running smooth even though I have been neglecting it some.

[magicalmets]

are the tanks connected?

 

[jcs11236]

Thanks. They are hydras
The tanks are not connected. Transferred everything from nano to rimless. Had them running next to each other for a few weeks until tank fully cycled

Tanks has been running smooth. I sold my very reliable reefkeeper lite for an apex. Had no compliant with RKL but love my apex. Love being able to control everything from my iPhone. Great feature is being able to check tank levels from anywhere.
I also upgraded my skimmer. The seaside es5 was good but felt like I needed something a lil bigger. I got a deal on a reef octopus 150SSS. Nice skimmer. This thing started pulling junk out of water after a few hours of installing. I also hard plumb my drain line. Looks better and I actually connected the sump correctly using both filter socks instead of flex hose just sitting in one filter sock
Here are some pics of the sump/cabinet area

Also got the AI director and sold the wireless controller. Director is pretty cool.

 

[jcs11236]

Also hung lights up using the AI hanging kit. Looks better than black pipe did before. Was just lazy.

Update. Tank has been running smooth. Got rid of gfo/carbon. Stated carbon dosing a few months ago. Had my nitrates levels out the roof. Now they are under control. Installed bubble magus to dose 2 part and vinegar. I also dose tank with special blend and bio digest. Here's a pic sump area
