Are you planning to only use the Life Biofil to house bacteria or any plans for Siporax or the like?
Good to know. The reason I ask is I'm trying to decide which way to go with nutrient export for my own tank. Was originally going to go with refugium/macroalgae along with AF balling but am now leaning toward AF nutrient reduction methods, but using Siporax.I’m only going to use Life Bio Fil in this build. It will be more than sufficient and efficient for handling the job. After using this product on a previous tank, I can say it’s up to the job. [emoji123][emoji6]

If your going to use Siporax ... 2 pieces of advice.
1. Rinse it really really well in RODI WATER and use the 25mm noodles.
2. Use Aquaforest Life Bio Fil lol it’s already seeded with bacteria.
The Siporax will take quite a long time to seed.
I did purchase the 25mm noodles, they haven't arrived yet. Ugh, maybe I should have gone Bio Fil. Does it require a reactor or could it be run passively just as well?
My tank is nearly 3 weeks post cycle, I need it ready to rock for sps sooner rather than later.
hey @120reefkeeper, I have been following the build and am super impressed. I am strongly considering setting up a 135.4 waterbox as well. I really like the look of the stax rocks in your tank. I was just curious though, how many pounds of stax rocks are in your tank. I was just wondering so i can plan accordingly for mine. Once again i love the tank and look foward to see where this goes!
So glad you finally decided to join us!! Welcome aboard!! Thanks for the kind words!This thread has pulled me out of lurking on the forums the past year and finally setting up an account! I was just about to order this same tank last week while following along and glad I waited as I'm crossing fingers they come out with a 60x24x24. Throw me into the AF camp as I see nothing but good stuffing coming out of it also!
keep the updates coming. Love the direction you've been taking this and thank you for your service!
Hey out of curiosity. What’s the dimensions of the sump that comes with the 135.4?
I little early for the life bio fil?? Are you running zeomit also?Aquaforest 110 Reactor is online with Life Bio Fil inside [emoji123][emoji123]

I found I just have to use a small amount of ZeomitNot at all. Life Bio Fil has bacteria on it already. With a new system you need to have bacteria quickly. It would be the same thing as adding live rock, but without all the pests.
Not running any zeomix yet. Need to build up the bacteria field first.
Just read the whole thread. I really like the rock wall aquascape. Very unique and creative. Cannot wait to see this full of coral.
