Ok I got 2 weeks to sit and plan the move within a 3 day period... figure out my apex system.. Figure out what magnets to use to hold my panels or maybe get in contact with someone who is really good with cabinet work... Hear a lot about Tony... If anyone can point me towards his direction would be greatly appreciated..

Ok I got my 3 day todo list to plan out the move of this tank. Will be starting on Sunday and hope to finish and have the tank up and running weds.. Wish me luck.. Also if anyone knows what switch to use to signal my cabinet lights on with my apex please let me know.. I have a refrigerator switch I was thinking of ordering from Amazon but don't know if it's the wisest choice
Tank is up and running finally ..now to start doing my rock work how I want it and eliminate a few big pieces of coral so I can start on a even canvas... Tank is super quiet... To the point that I might get rid of my 2 mp40wes and one new one in the box bc it's the loudest part of the tank ( besides the pump to my ATO )
Ok I worked on it a lil more still have a lot to go with the rock work bc I'm still figuring it out and I have a lot to cut and glue once I find the ideal location but this what will have to be done for now.. Sump is filled pieces I plan on giving away as well.. #goodstartforsomeone
Interested in maybe adding a nano tank to this system for a planted fuge... Maybe have some mangroves and a few pieces of macro algae.. Something pretty but functional to help with nitrates and add more water volume.. Any suggestions or ideas of how to plumb it to my system... I could use a few ideas
I got a foot print of 24x16 to work with possibly if I choose to use the dresser on the right of the tank for a stand.. Up to 15 inches high to be leveled to the bottom of my tank floor so I might go lower like 12"s bc I m scared of the light bleeding into my tank.. I could do 15 " and use this led strip for the tank that I'm using on this 10 gallon holding my cheato but I'm still trying to map it out.. Trying to avoid the custom tank if I could
Ok so I have an idea on how I'm gonna plumb it into my system... I have a CPR 102 overflow and have incorporated a herbie style into it so it's dead silent..so it has two 1" outputs and one is tuned with the gate valve which is my main overflow the other is my emergency.. I'm going to plumb the emergency into the new tank.. Then via a overflow from the new tank I'm going to plumb it back into my sump.. Everything is already to the right of the tank already so itll work out in theory.. Now to source a tank and figure out the overflow option.. I say this new tank can always be incorporated in my next build so it might be beneficial in the future and might be worth going quality the first time.. Depending on how much quality cost.. Lol there goes a plan with a lil thought in the future...
Had a problem with my salinity... I calibrated my refractometer to my Rodi water and zeroed it out...not the correct way with salt water I just learned. You need 53.0 ms fluid to get the correct baseline.. Just an FYI for those who did it like myself with Rodi water.. There are also a few types but you want to get are the ones designed for salt water not fresh water or anything else.. Hope that helped
