Awesome build! I love cubes! What kind of corals will you add?

While I can't tell for sure what type of skimmer you are using, I do believe it will operate much more efficiently in about 8-9" of water. Simply place some type of container or other water suitable structure underneath to raise your skimmer out of the water or figure a way to lower the water level in the sump.

haven't done a water test, but I am getting a good diatom bloom in the refugium. Added some lights and chaeto. Also added a sink to the fish basement, next step is ro/di, mixing station and an ato. Still need to add more sand to the fuge as well.   no diatoms in the dt, could be because there is no light on it.   Not sure, but its still early in the game.

A lot has been happening to the tank lately.   Added about 5 gallons of rubble to the fuge and I am getting ton of pods, which will be great to feed the tank.



Also, I tried to organize my plugs and add a work bench to the sump. Still needs a little tweaking, but so far I'm happy with it. Also tore down my 20 long that was withering away and added the fish and coral to the sump for now. I want to add some shy fish in the display first, and give my fuge more time to mature, so the sump was the best option for them.




Picked this up last week, and finally got it installed tonight. It's maybe a little quirkier than I anticipated, but it's unique and matches the style of the stand! Really glad to finally have it up though. Still playing with settings, but right now it's running the natural
Schedule or whatever they call that one based on the reef and it's about 50% full power.

Thanks!

Well, the tank seems pretty stable. I had to switch the sensors out on my hydrofill as they weren't recognizing low water levels. Innovative Marine had pretty stellar customer service.

I am getting a little itchy to get some stuff put in the tank. I have a frag of sunny d palys that I have nursed along in a subpar tank for the past year.   They lost a good bit of color and are mostly brown at this point. Hoping the radion will bring them out of it.    I put together my tentative coral list (I have no illusions that this list is final or that I will actually end up with it all, but it was a good place to start). But here goes, and if I have it out there for all to see, maybe it will make it easier on me to follow through!

SPS:
Pink lemonade
Red planet
Strawberry shortcake
Crybaby jake milli
Green slimer
Blue stag
Oregon blue tort

Zoas:
Fruit loops
Rastas
Blue hornets
Blue macaws
Blondies
La lakers


Orange ricordia
Bright flower nem w/sexy shrimp

Blue/green/bright rainbow acans

Torch (either bright green or gold)
Frogspawn

These are the maybes. I like the look and would love to have them, just don't know if this is the tank for them:
Elegance?
Bubbletip (sunburst, lemon drop, rainbow...one of those would make the decision easier!)?

Hopefully I can start checking things off the list soon

They are beautiful PJ!

^thank you
Lost one fish, but the other five are eating very well. They love reef frenzy!

That sump looks a little familiar haha, sad news on the frostbite though :(

It was under my 120 for a while. I'd give you one of mine but I don't think I could part with them. I'm sure we could order you another though when your tank is ready.
