Has anyone modded the spray bar to be higher to allow for a deeper sand bed?

Well I was able to find some horrible colored 1/2 piping and 90 elbows. I will be painting it black with Krylon Fusion.

So some people add a bulkhead, I just used the existing spray bar hole and added some 1/2" PVC and 90's

I added one more baffle so that I could add a refugium in the back

Lighting... Kessil 360we w/ Angel Eyes and APEX LSM Modules w/ 2 Leds for the main and a CPR Small Fuge LED for the huge (Considering using my Radion XR15 instead of the Kessil, but this is doing fine for now)

Heating... 2 Hydor Theo 100w... (Started with a 75W but winter months required 200w to keep the water more stable, once the outside temp would dip down, it would have a hard time heating it back up)

Return... Jebao DC1200 w/ Apex Wavemaker Module (Turning on/off pumps aren't good so I got a DC pump so I could set the flow to 0 instead of cutting power off to it, I had pumps where they would turn off and never back on because they locked up... and would require a manual knock to it lol)

Flow... Vortech MP10W QD w/ Apex WXM Module (I swapped my Gyre 130 for the MP10... although the Gyre was, bar none, the best as far as creating flow, it took up too much space, they should micro size it, Ecotech should do the same)

ATO... Tunze Nano w/ 2G Cereal Container (Still looking for a smaller solution)

Skimmer... Eheim Skimmer 350 (Love this thing even though it just skims the surface, but it keeps the water glimmering)

Controller... Apex Gold (Best investment ever, you pay the money for it but IMHO, better than Digital Aquatics and Reef Angel)

Dosing... (I don't have a plan yet... Dosing pumps and Res are too darn large)

Feeder... Apex Feeder (Too big, wish the stand was reversible so it wouldn't stick out so much, I keep bumping into it every time I pass my tank)

Power... CyberPower 1500 + Ice Cap Backup Battery (Backup power is a must)


The tank is pretty much automated, I only have to fill ATO Res every 3 days or so

Thanks for correcting me.... I got it at Lowes or Home Depot... they were like 2-3 foot pieces and they were an ugly off white color... i think they may sell them on eBay but I never bothered to order any
