Glad you got water in the tank!!Water is in the tank! Rinsing of the sane apparently worked better than I thought, just a slight haze to the tank. Going to give it a couple days to clear. Fired up the heaters to get the temp where I want. Slowly starting to setup everything on the Apex, got a long ways to go with that as it's my first one. Going to add salt later this week and then start cycling.
Have some drain noise I have to work on as well, seems to be from the 2nd drain, not the full siphon, and noise from the filter socks. Open to suggestions on how to resolve both of those.
I'm looking to buy some raceway too. Where did you buy it? What size? Is that 2" x 2"? Would you go smaller or larger next time?Got the cable raceways installed in the sump today. Up next will be plumbing.

Thanks!
Cool! What's getting cramped? I was hoping to use slightly smaller raceway, but maybe that's a bad idea. Is it just full of cable? I feel like excess cable could sure build up in there.Amazon for the raceway. Zihyoo was the brand. I went with the 2” and it worked, however it’s cramped in a few places and next time I would step up to the larger size. Quality was good and was easy to cut with just a hacksaw.
Yeah full of cable. It’s the thick cables like apex EB832, heaters, and the like that are the worst; they are all also routing the same direction towards the apex. Don’t get me wrong, it’s totally manageable. However I always have something try to pop out of my main raceway when I open it up.Cool! What's getting cramped?

Roger. Thanks for the insight.Yeah full of cable. It’s the thick cables like apex EB832, heaters, and the like that are the worst; they are all also routing the same direction towards the apex.

Plus I feel like it gives me more room to grow down the road if I need to add more cables for things.
No problem, to mount the raceway to the cabinet I used Velcro strips I ordered off Amazon.Roger. Thanks for the insight.
Tested the heaters several ways before work this morning, finally just plugged straight into an outlet and bypassed all controllers, still nothing from them. Somehow they are both just dead. Apex shows no voltage spike before they died or anything. Thankfully I keep a backup heater so I have an Eheim tossed in the display to heat the tank for the time being.
BRS customer service is sending me two new heaters, thankfully a painless process. Chat was under three minutes, so kudos to them.
