FTS while I close the day. I had to rearrange stuff a bit too possibly open up flow - possibly more that I didn't like the layout. Changed GFO to BRS high capacity GFO. Also replaced carbon.
And finally dosed 50mls of WasteAway.

Hi Isaac... I just signed up to this forum. Recently purchased the Cad lights artisan II 70g and cycling it now. Just want to thank you for your thread and time producing it. It has helped me a great deal. Your tank is amazing. Very good work. Thanks again!Love that I wake every morning to a clean sandbed. Thanks to my Diamond Goby.

Ok. Plumbed and fitted. Gasket leak test passed.
Now to hook this M1 up so I can test the plumbing.
Crossing fingers about my crude fix that I mentioned earlier.
Very happy that the Apex issues were resolved.
It's been working great.
Well you did a fantastic job ...It's not black. I put a a wood veneer on the front and top so that I could stain and distress the front and top with a dark walnut finish. The pictures are darker than they actually are. Why did I do this?...
Two reasons:
1) To keep my wife happy I'm hiding as much of the secondary equipment as possible. And do it in plain site.
2) I didn't want the stand and tank to lose symmetry. So by breaking the color the stand still appears as was intended rather than have a parasitic growth attached to one side. So now there this brown cabinet on one side and a tall glass vase on the other... (my ATO).
Did you consider a manifold to hook up other equipment (reactors)? I can't wait to set my tank up
I did consider it. I even added a small .5" line from the return to power a reactor. But I realized that I want independent control of the reactor pump...and, I would need to reconfigure the check valve position.
So, currently, I have a cobalt pump pushing GFO and carbon reactors. I use the .5" return to just add extra flow and surface agitation in the fuge area. At some point, I want it to run to a small 5 gallon display refugium that will be mounted on the wall.
I found this online ! LOL I am going to try and copy it.Nice job!
