Hey Jason, see you got your sump and totally enjoying it!! I got mine too, same thing but in Fusion Green and a class act it is!! What tank mount do you have that Kessil refugium light on, A-series gooseneck or mini A-series gooseneck?

 

[jasonamyers]

I'm using the full size gooseneck hooked to the baffle to the left of the skimmer.

I thought I'd share a bit about my QT setup for the fish that go into both the UGT and the H&W Ocean

 

[jasonamyers]

A few more fish in!

How much did you pay for the Battle Box may I ask? And how many frags were in it?

8 frags not sure of the price, have to check their website for that. I got a custom mix of things.

Built an equipment cabinet for all my gear! It’s not amazing but very functional and I’m happy with it.

Big time algae outbreak, need some advice on how to proceed! little red hair like algae that I can't seem to beat.

@jasonamyers You went with the Kessil Tuna Flora 380 for refugium light didn't you? Kessil just came out with a Kessil Tuna Flora 160. Do you think this light would be sufficient for the Synergy Triton sump as compared to the 380? Or even the Flora 80?

I owned the H80 originally and it wasn't enough for my setup; however, the H160 looks very promising. I can tell you the H360 grows chaeto like crazy in both of my tanks.

Have you tested? What are your parameters?

 

[powers2001]

So you are using the Triton method on this tank? Which assumes you will need 10X system volume of turnover in flow. Will your sand bed be able to handle this?
