Looks great! I just set up the INT 100 and I wonder if you have this same issue....in order to get the return standpipe into the locline bulkhead, the nylon hose needs to bend a little...I was concerned this could put pressure on the bulkhead or bottom glass....I spoke with IM and they think its fine, I just wonder if its something you noticed. Here is a pic of mine

I don't recall if I had that bend in the hose. I will try to take a look when I get home. Do you have a rubber gasket or anything on the display side of the over flow?

Thanks. Ya, I just use the gasket they sent with the bulkhead

I ended up trimming about 2” off my tubing. I took a lil off at a time until the fit was right and didn’t have tension.

I trimmed mine as well but the return hole is simply too far from the locline bulkhead to reach there without bending....at least with mine its like that

I just tried to look at my return stand pipe and I don’t see much of a bend. But it hard for me to see back there and there is water. Maybe you can take off the rubber o ring from the display side and it will sit alittle farther back.

I got some QT fish from QuarantienedMarine. Two clown, two banggai cardinals, and Tomini tang. One fire fish didn’t make it. I also got some corals from WWC and top shelf cyber Monday and Black Friday sales

Thanks...ya it probably would but then water would leak into the overflow...the bend is actually very small

Congratulation on your beautiful tank! Wish I had the funds to get it. I will only purchase if I can pay it off 100% with the CC bill. It is a great tank. Wish you much luck. Hope to see more posts from you.

I have run out of patience with the ATK. Every couple of days I notice that the sump is a little low and this red light is flashing. There is never any beeping or alarm. I contacted Neptune and I completed all of their checks they asked me to do in the email. They said that all the tests were normal. Except that the alarm doesn’t sound. So I have to send it in. So they are asking me to go a couple of weeks with out and ATO. I should have bought an osmolator.

The good news is at least the filter roller is working.

Thanks for the advice. I had already ordered the osmolator. I figured I just go with the one that is supposed to me reliable.

Good choice. Always go Tunze Osmolator 3155. It is the most proven thing out there and replacement parts are cheap. It has fantastically simple and reliable safe guards. It will even keep working if the head unit on your controller locks up. I wouldn't put anything else on my tank.

Your tank is fantastic. Considering going a similar route with the EXT line. I like having space behind my tank and a couple pieces of removable trim can hide the plumbing while still providing easy access.

I am happy with the INT, but the overflow takes up a lot of room. I would have gone with the EXT, but it pushes the tank forward too much for where I wanted to put it.

Hi, Nice tank... Have a 75 EXT stuck at a fright dock in Abq, guess they are not in a hurry to get it to me even though I'm 5 miles away. Any way I was wondering if you could take a measurement with the front doors closed to the outside back of the stand? Trying to plan hardware.
Thanks,
Lee

Hey Lee, thanks. Sure, I’ll send you a message- Hope the tank shows soon !

Hey, how do you like the Vectra? Does it keep the overflow water level consistent?
