Had some free time today so started working on the saltwater mixing station. Still need to get it plumbed. For the pump I decided to use the panworld 200ps, which is the same as the return pump I will be using. If the return pump ever fails, I can always swap out the mixing station pump

Excited to see how the Radiums look. Are those 250-400w switchable ballasts and you're gonna run the radiums on the superlumen setting?
Thanks! Yes the luxcore ballasts are selectable and have the superlumen setting. On my previous Reef Savvy 225g I ran radiums and LOVED them, I’m excited to run them again.

Awesome. I have Icecap 250-400w ballasts and run 14k Phoenix bulbs on the 250HQI setting. Was just thinking down the road on a future tank build and going with 400w SE bulbs in 20" Hamilton reflectors. Could do 14k or 20k Hamilton bulbs with the same ballast. But wasnt sure how the 400w Radiums look on these ballasts on the superlumen setting.
Thanks for the input.
