How are you getting these awesome photos? With your phone? I am getting ready to attempt professional looking with my DLSR, but love the color pop you are getting.
I'm using an aquariclip orange gel filter lens over an iphoneX for the pics.

Help for a newbie. I just had a Waterbox Plat. 135 installed last week. I'll be moving rock etc. from a 65gl and moving over some larger corals from an overgrown nano. My question...I've never had a sump before. It's a little intimidating and VERY LOUD!! This tank is in my workspace and it's driving me bonkers. It sounds like a shower running CONSTANTLY...I'd read that they're mostly quiet so I dont' think this is going well. I'm running a Sicce Syncra 5 for return pump..can definitely hear vibration from that, but majority of the noise is the drain/overflow. Please, if anyone can tell me how to adjust this. Also, any recommendations for a top/lid would be appreciated. THANK YOU!!!
Just found this thread. Perfect timing as I just ordered the same exact tank at a special 24 hour sale at 15% off! I’m pretty excited and wanted to get some info on the setup to get me ready.
1) can you provide the link to the parts that are needed to build the manifold? I’m definitely going to be going this route
2) where did you get the lamp tree for lights? Is it height adjustable?
Completely forgot to reply here, sorry about that!
the parts required can't all be purchased at BRS sadly, but here is what I had:
25mm to 3/4" metric to standard adapter
25mm coupler
3/4" T
3/4" barb fitting
3/4" to 1/2" bushing
1/2" T
1/2" 90 degree
2x 1/2" gate valves
that will get you the manifold to the gate valve. don't forget some 3/4" and 1/2" pvc for between the connections.
The lamp tree is made out of 80/20 aluminum. it is height adjustable and uses the pre-drilled holes in the back of the stand.
Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the multitude of questions but I’m an idiot when it comes to plumbing. I’m also planning to get a Vectra but not sure which one yet. Do you think the M1 would be overkill for that tank or could I getaway with the S1? Not sure how many gph is recommended for this tank. What did you use for plumbing from the Vectra to the manifold? Where did you order the parts from if not from BRS?
Also was the lamp tree DIY or did you buy from somewhere? Thanks
