this is the manifold design that has been the best fit in the allotted space with all my new additions. 1st valve will be for the media reactor, 2nd for the Fuge, and 3rd for the angler/Zoa tank.

And a snug fit for this as well. The manifold will be running off the vectra S2 in the center chamber hence the check valve going there and since the feeds to those 2 cube tanks will be below the drains I don’t want it to backfeed to the sump. Trying to avoid sump overflow if there is a loss of power for any reason.

Thanks! It is coming along. Had to order more plumbing so I’m focused on the small tanks for a bit and I’ll be getting into the controller layout soon as well.

Cool can’t wait to see how you set up all the controllers
OP

I’m going to split the controllers up between 2 boards. The Neptune system board will be under the tank and the Lights/Temp/Flow board will be in the fuge cabinet. Here is what I have come up with. My apologies for the poorly made cardboard placeholders. Lol ;Smuggrin
This is just the layout. I plan to have some depth and rest assured it will definitely look clean with the wires hidden by the cable management raceway in front and behind the controller boards. I got Velcro wire wraps for exposed parts as well. I tend to lean towards them over zip ties if I need to access wires.

Still I am undecided on where to put the trident placement. Possibly build a shelf above the sump. I would of course take the potential of dripping in the sump into account. The short sample tube makes distance from the sump quite limited.

Hopefully not as bad as our friend Covid
. Do you like your frag 105.2 in terms of the height.
OP
OP
The shallow 16” height was what I really wanted in a new tank. I have always had 24”+ depth tanks and since I’m going all SpS I really only would use the top part of a 24” deep tank. That with the look of rimless modern aquariums, I am very happy with the look and height.Hopefully not as bad as our friend Covid
