Room is pretty much done

Love that room—jealous. Had to hide most of my stuff in these two side cabinets:

Been working on setting up my 130. Coming from a redsea 425 I have to say this thing is a beast!

Niiiiccceee!!! I really wish I would've gone with the 130 :face-exhaling:

Any updates guys ? I found a nice deal semi local on a 130 I'm about to pull the trigger on. The only thing holding me back is the sump seems undersized for the price.

How is your 130 doing now?

I don't know how sump size compares between the 130 and 100. I have the 100. But I have plenty of room in mine still.

I'd say go for it! While I don't think the sump is the best, as I prefer the sump in the waterbox or UNS (I'm pretty sure they're much higher priced) there is plenty of room in it.

The stand is SOLID. It doesn't have removable panels like other brands, but it is absolutely solid.

I did have to turn the flow down A LOT to keep the overflow silent.

Overall though, I'm super disappointed with my purchase.... I'm disappointed that I didn't get the 130 instead of the 100!!!

Haha, and glad I'm waiting, cos there's the Mariner 220 and the Peninsula 220.

M180 and mp100 not 220

So uh, what kind of trade in or trade up programs do you have??

Yes definitely slated at the moment but this year so far the two options I stated above . Watch for YouTube announcements.

Any body else have a loud sump? Its the water trickling down form spaces around the filter sock I think.?

Also, here's my build thread:


Thread 'The Yasha Eshopps Mariner 100' https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/sajcs-eshopps-mariner-100.1087021/

I had the same question. The plastic plate that holds the filter socks is not water tight and allows water to drip into the sump compartment. It is very loud. Seems like a manufacturing flaw.

Anyone considered replacing the ball valves with gate valves to make adjusting easier. Seems like every time I turn the pump off I have to spend time adjusting again to get it semi quiet
