Tank is full of freshly mixed salt water and will slowly put the tank online when I get home tonight since the reef crystal mixes to 10.4 alk[emoji37] my system alk is 7.6-8.

I plumbed this tank to return to a separate sump I had laying around from my old system. The sump than drains into my main sump. I did this so the new frag tank could be completely isolated from the system for quarteining or any other potential mishaps in main system/ frag system.

Plumbing and and wires still need to be cleaned up. Prob will use one chamber of this sump for just chaeto and other chamber for matrix/ or another MP block if needed.

You have no idea how much your system excites me, love it! :)
I run a 300 litre display in a 550 water volume system.
Different setup as I have a refugium (macro algae) in the sump but my tank is split with a glass divider 3/5 - 2/5 and the small end is is my jungle with my softies and fast growers.
A lot of people overlook how good softies are for nutrient export, helps make a "system"!
Love your display fuge. :)

Well after pruning, moving, removing and pretty much rescaping the entire tank this is what I finished with. Created a good amount of new real estate on the right island for some new acros that I'm picking up tonight.
