Looking great!

Following this thread. Can you access the left sided electrical area from the front, or can it only be accessed from the side?

The electrical cabinet is designed to be accessed by the left side, the front acts mainly as a panel for your controllers. The cabinet and pull-out drawer can both be removed from the left side, however.

Fully access? No.

That's what I thought. I'm placing a tank in an alcove and would not have access to the side but for a few inches.

Status update on the UNS r120 shallow. Vecton Titan 850 UV and Reefmat 500 installed. Took some modification of the Reefmat adapter to get it to work properly. But it seems to be using about 13” a day of mat.

Looks like you plumbed your UV back into your return chamber. Do you have issues with the return (and possibly sump) filling up too fast? I was wondering if I could get away with that as it’s easier than disrupting the plumbing they send prebuilt.

Just bought a R90 from TSA today. Frank hooked me up as well, very pleasant experience overall.

I had to adjust everything after adding the return. It took some fiddling of pump speed but it balanced out.

Added a protein skimmer. Also set up a Neptune Trident.

Added ROWAPHOS reactor and a CARBON reactor. Went with the in-sump options from Aquaready. Sigma 1 and Sigma 2.

Hey! I'm in the process of setting up the standard UNS R120! Can you please tell me what light you got to light up the sump area? I want to add a light under the sump too, so I can see better when I need to work under there. If you can give me a link to the one you got that would be amazing! Thanks!

It is the UNS refugium light.

Thanks for your reply. Sorry, I didn't mean the refugium light, I was wondering the light you used to light up the entire sump area.

Oh its a generic motion light from amazon.
