Any more info? I just picked mine up from Russ at Saltwater Critters today. It will be a few days before I get anything going.

Why did you replace the sump?

Also, how's the noise on the overflow?

Any other feedback? Advice?

I like to have more partition for a sump thats why I switch to Trigger system.

Updates to my RO T90

So far so good.

How's the noise on the over flow?

 

[iCoral]

the Overflow is kinda noisy but my tank is it the living room so it doesn't bother me as much.

 

[Djbetterly]

What glue did you use to glue the pipes into the bulkhead?

And lastly, what is the bracket system you are using to hang your lights?

 

[Tonyscoots84]

regular pvc primer and glue will do

 

[Djbetterly]

Cool..I wasn't sure since the bulkhead isn't pvc.

Any idea on the rails he's using on this tank?

 

[iCoral]

sorry for the late reply, been too busy lately. Yes I used regular pvc glue. Here is the website for the rails i used.

I used the 1" x 1" TSLOTS Aluminum Extrusions.

Thank you...I'm amazed at how inexpensive that stuff is.

Shipping gets a little expensive. But this Aluminum is extremely strong and rust free. Thanks to a good friend of mine Steve (MO~IDOL). He was the one who introduced this to me.

Djbetterly- How you like the Reef Octopus T90? Did you get the whole set (tank,stand,skimmer, sump)?

iCoral: Very nice setup.

I also did a lot of research about this Reef Octopus system and following your thread since day 1. I'm about 90% leaning toward buying this system. The 10% hesitation is that the overflow noise - but I think I will custom the overflow with either Stockman standpipe or Hofer Gurgle Buster standpipe in hope that it will reduce the noise much more.

If you don't mind could you please list the height of the center back cabinet hole(s) to the ground? Just want to know what is the height of the distant.

 

[iCoral]

Thanks ndds1. The holes measures 19.5 from the bottom to the starting of the holes. Hopefully that helps.

iCoral - I bought the stand, tank, sump and overflow. So for I've only run a leak test, but I did give it enough time to listen to the overflow. A little hesitant about it, but not sure what my other options are.

Currently the tank is dry as I'm waiting on sand and rock. I have no skimmer yet, definitely wanting the quietest skimmer I can find. Any recommendations?

This tank will be in my living room so quiet is key. If anyone has any suggestions I'm open!
