Cleaning and keeping coralline off it was my main reason for wanting an external overflow. I hate the look of coralline everywhere, but love it on the rocks. Small complaint though, and you’re right, the footprint on the Shadow is small so that’s good.
Thanks!! Love the little details in this sump! The probe holders are a stock upgrade option but the heater holders were my idea and super happy I thought to ask for them! Love keeping these things clean to the extend possible. Synergy is the best. You should check out their ATO Reservoirs. Pricey, but they’re so nice I actually kept my old one outside my stand because it looked so cool and will be doing the same this time around.That was clever they put the probe holder on the depth baffle and I like the heater holders too.
I love my sump, don't get me wrong, but I paid I think 700ish for it and I didn't even get a tshirt or even a sticker with it man. Not even a free filter sock...
It came with a letter that said, "dude get a job."
Then I had to buy all the probe and heater holders and whatnot separately.
But yeah, nice stuff from Synergy. They weren't even a factor in the equation when I bought mine.
I'll have to see what they make. I'm sure they make something I can use. Looks like they make all of Neptune's stuff almost.
Looks like I may be setting up at the same time as you. UPS broke my tank which has me at like DEFCON 1 levels of ticked off, but Advanced Acrylics is making another.
Man that’s terrible. I’m sorry to hear that! I thought acrylic was much tougher to break, they must’ve been pretty negligent. On the bright side you have a little extra time for more planning and preparation.
All the corners on the box were rounded, the protective cardboard corners inside the box, the bubble wrap and the peanuts from hell were smashed too. Personally, I would have freight shipped this on a palette, but it was packed well enough and marked appropriately that this SHOULD NOT have happened if people weren't throwing it all over the place like I know they were.
That’s annoying, but really cool of Advanced to take care of it for you. Good luck! The new one will be here before you know it I’m sure. Synergy is definitely worth checking out for a future build!
I guess if my stand comes here I can start putting everything together anyway and when the tank that holds water gets here, I'll swap the now "dummy tank" out for the one that holds water. But this isn't my tank thread, so as you were sir.
Lol always happy to chat regardless of whose thread it is!I guess if my stand comes here I can start putting everything together anyway and when the tank that holds water gets here, I'll swap the now "dummy tank" out for the one that holds water. But this isn't my tank thread, so as you were sir.
