Third tote load is in. The display is almost full.
It’s hard to see in the second picture but the vortech controllers look awesome in the dark.

any signs of leaks? I thought I saw some water on the floor there but I hope its just a splash from putting it in.

No leaks so far. The water on the floor was from me. I moved the pipe that was offloading the water from the tote and I accidentally splashed some out.

Thank you
I love ecotech, but you might be one of the first people that could utilize this beast in the future. Not sure if you saw the article @MimicOcto8 https://reefbuilders.com/2016/09/14/kessil-a2000-led-is-one-powerful-commercial-aquarium-light/

Not many people post about their fails. Well I told my wife that I built this sump half butt so if there’s gonna be a leak in my build it’ll be the sump. Well the sump leaked and I decided I should just got with plan A. Plan A from the beginning was to buy a tank that’s designed to hold water lol. So back to plan A. I ripped my sump out and now searching for plan A.
