Your project look great. Question, your sump is a 55 gal. Do you have enough room to do maintenance underneath a metal stand?

My sump is a 40 long. Someone else was using a 50 breeder I think. Ditched the metal stand too. Haven't updated in a while. Tank has been cycling for about 5 days. Already seeing nitrates and trites. Ordered some lights, soon as those get here I'll start moving things over

Temp set up for apex and power till I figure out where that is going.

Got my lights and a few more modules. Got all the probes calibrated and installed. Waiting for mounting brackets for the lights and will be good to go. Did a big water change and it's ready for inhabitants

Ben running the skimmer for a while now and it hasn't broken in. Think I figured out why. Somewhere along the line I messed up and it's sitting to deep. No room under stand to block it up so now I have to get creative with cutting down the baffles with the sump still under the stand. Yay me
