Yeah that is definitely running lower. That may work out just fine with the 39". Looks like your skimmer is running in 5 or 6 inches.
I believe it was 7” exactly, just below halfway. What is your skimmer water height in your sump?

The water in my skimmer section is about 9.5 inches.I believe it was 7” exactly, just below halfway. What is your skimmer water height in your sump?
curious, why did you ditch the vectra and go neptune?
Looking nice. I'm planning a tank this size either IM ext or a Miracles for a few more inches of water depth.
Nice and clean looking.
I got the 200 int coming and got the 36" sump , really nervous now lol do you plan on putting a back on the stand and if so what ?
Looking good so far! I'm about ready to start doing similar rockwork so looking forward to seeing some more pictures
So I let my water come down slowly while I adjusted the refugium to skimmer baffle down. I had to pump out some saltwater to keep my salinity in check. Now with the refugium section 1.75 inches lower, and basicly level with the skimmer section, the sump does have a lot more room for the display to drain down into. Side benefit is that I no longer have the waterfall spill over into the skimmer section, so less noise. No noise really. So this is a win win. I would not have done this had you not made me think about it. Thanks.Good call on the water level in my sump. I do have all of the water level adjustment slide panels as high as they will go. So there is some room to be had there if needed. I had never really considered that until just now. I will play with this over the next week (lower the sump level as far as I can) and share my results with you. I can really only lower the first chamber due to my AC return pump, but it is the largest section.
This pic is where it is at now. I might be able to drop the left side about 2 inches.

Mine came with feet but they are just attached via adhesive and they fall off easily. I dunno what the Red Stand is like so I am unable to compare. No shimming was required I lost a foot that was like I said taped to the corner and have the stand on two different carpets and once I put the self level mat on the stand it was perfectly level no problem. Hope that helps. My build thread is here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/my-new-200g-peninsula-build.883682/How is the leveling of the APS stand. Does it have feet like the Red Sea stands or does it need to be shimmed to level?

I had an original plan of just 2 44 gallon trash cans for water station but the LFS convinced me I needed more salt on hand in case I need to make a large water change so I got 3 instead which meant many trips to the hardware store.***Small Update***
I successfully mounted my son's old iPad mini to the wall next to the tank when coming in our office to work as a Neptune control panel. It looks really nice and believe it will be nice to have so conveniently all the time. I have also worked on the rock a bit more, but really want to try to finish them this weekend so I can start the process of cycling them and getting them ready for when the tank arrives. I also started the process for my water mixing station and really excited for how it's coming together. For now, I'll post a quick picture of the iPad and the setup used for it and where it is going in relation to the tank. I'll post more updates very soon.
