This is the tightest skimmer fit I've ever seen! I had to take off the adjuster and assemble it once the skimmer was in the sump!

Should I worry that the skimmer is going to kill pods coming from the refugium section of the sump?

I'd be curious to see what others think on that, however my vote is no I wouldn't worry. I think pods survive the trip through the pumps.

There were two hairline cracks in the top of the first baffle that I decided to silicone.

What are y'alls opinions of closed loops for more flow? I'm debating whether to get some gyres to up flow or plumb a closed loop.

I called Bulk Reef Supply and they are sending me a whole new RO/DI system.

Top notch customer service!

looks like awesomeness in the making.) i am new to saltwater, as well as r2r and am in the proses of a similar build myself. SCA 120 gallon but the 6stage RODI, fuge (35gall brute) and (E.T.S.S 1400 skimmer) will be plumbed to the basement because of space and noise. also built my stand, a lot more work than i thought it would be considering i don't have a woodworking shop lol.
