Was doing a water change tonight on the 200 as it’s been awhile and nutrients are getting carried away, found this mushroom growing from the Australian live rock that I got. Guessing an interstellar of some sort?

This is an amazing build!
I plant on upgrading my tank in the next few months and can’t wait to hear what you think of the GNC lights, or maybe the Stratons will be available again.
You do not realize how hard it was to not tell you that the tank was gorgeous lol. I saw it when I went and picked up my sump, but didnt mention it lol.A couple of updates as I went radio silent for a bit, I'm back around and will be providing updates here....
Tank arrived with a bit of a problem, FedEx loaded this tank on a truck that was far too small to handle this tank, a couple of bottles of whiskey later another truck came to help. (Yes, that is the new tank balancing between two trucks lift gates )Tank is beautiful and I couldn’t be happier with the quality. @Joe Glass Cages delivered what I consider to be a show-quality tank. Don’t mind the mess in the garage, that’s what happens when you install a new tank lol-
I went Christmas shopping for myself and hit up SBB corals along with Battlecorals for some SPS.
Battlecorals was offering 30% off the 1k box so I went with that requesting 15 tenuis pieces of whatever Adam wants to put in it.
From Shane (SBB) I picked up 11 pieces-
SBB " Brain Teaser"
SBB " Laffy Taffy"
SBB Named Grab
SBB Grab Bag Tenuis
SBB Phenomenon
SBB " 24k" Tenuis
SBB " Pink Berry”
SBB " Molten Core"
SBB " Funky Monkey"
SBB " Banana Crunch "
SBB NO name COlonie
I have to take a day off from work so the tank will be going in the house on Friday morning along with the plumbing getting done.
Thank you for not spoiling it! I'm really proud of what Glass Cages produced, I went over the whole tank and couldn't find a thing I wasn't happy with. I'm really happy I went all low iron including the euro brace, well it's not needed, it really makes a difference to meYou do not realize how hard it was to not tell you that the tank was gorgeous lol.

Same here with my sump. I know it is only a sump, but was a 100% custom never been done before sump lol. The quality was top notch.Thank you for not spoiling it!

100% custom is right @Eagle_Steve. your design is a one of a kind for sure. I believe the drawing was the hardest part LOL! The end product is radical.Same here with my sump. I know it is only a sump, but was a 100% custom never been done before sump lol. The quality was top notch.
It’s possible, better send whiskey in the crate also lolThanks so much @Hydrored Totally appreciate your kind words of support. Thank you.
we really enjoyed working with you throughout this build process. Love the way your tank turned out!
"Dual FedEx Truck Delivery" maybe we should add that as a new delivery option?
The dual liftgates is awesome problem solving. That is just great.A couple of updates as I went radio silent for a bit, I'm back around and will be providing updates here....

where did you get the pump intake strainers?
what are you using for ATO
just my opinion, but I'm not so sure I would trust that for an ATO. I would think that bubbles or some floating "thing" could cause an issue if it were to hit the vacuum tube. I don't know a lot about it so its just my opinion.Intake slot pipes are from Royal Exclusiv direct-
Slot pipes / split tubes for delivery pumps RD1 -3

I'm using SpectraPure G7 Ultra Precise for an ATO-

I decide to go with Apex and optic sensors to will kick on a pump. the pump is a BRS 55ml and I am putting a solenoid on the line. the Apex solenoid was only $29 so why not
I have no experience with them. thanks for explaining. What issues did you have with the apex? Any FMM issues? First time I am using a ATK and I'm not completely sold on it. I am also considering the Innovative Marine Hydro fillThanks for your concern! Many people are using them with success, when the water is touching the large tube it does not draw water, If the smaller tube gets submersed it kills the pump. So it's perfectly fine if air gets in there, even if debris did it would have to plug the whole entire large tube perfectly. I have used the apex ATO since release, which has it's own issues to deal with. If I'm not happy with it I have spare Apex parts for days and would take minutes to swap.
I also have optical alarms if the sump water level is too high or low for even more backup. So we'll see how it goes, for now, I'm going to roll with it.
That is kinda cool. Hard to beat the Tunze 3155 but that one is interesting.Thanks for your concern!
