Thanks. I’m actually getting the stand skinned and a small back price to hide the wires in the sump area as we speak.
The stand didn’t work out as I had visioned but it’s bomb proof. Once I have the stand fixed I’m going to re do. My plumbing I don’t think it’s effective or it don’t look right too my OCD lol. I’m thinking of upsizing my return to 1.5 but I’d have to buy a new FMM.

Finally found some clear pictures
Nice set up

So I finally got my dosing container, after trying the Core7 bottles, Voss bottles and my DDR Skimz finally released the DLC4 at 75 bucks its everything I was looking for. I was initially skeptical after reading the reviews on the older system leaking. But after what seemed like forever @bulkreefsupply finally got them in stock available to ship. Once it arrived, i knew id made an excellent choice. It is built to the same quality and materials as my skimmer. Clean Seams and nice thick acrylic, even better it came with colored tubing which is searched for in forever. Apex should look this supplier up because I've had nothing but issues with their tubing. A quick recalibration and off we go. An oversight on my part since I have guest fittings on my sump was the little adapters to plug tubing into the fittings. They are $1.50 each.

Got my order in with the new skin at a local cabinet shop that made my doors.
Since my vision was for s seamless stand having the doors on the outside was throwing it off.
I got them to cut a sheet of plastic sheeting for the back of the sump to give it a cleaner look. Also a great place for my R2R decal @revhtree.
Skimz dosing containers are working great. So happy I got this. Thanks to @Bulk Reef Supply for bringing another great product I absolutely love all my Skimz products.
I cleaned my sump front so I could see great picture opportunity while I was being productive lol.
So I’ve been using the TS44 for a while I’ve noticed that having the baffle at 9.5 it won’t hold a seal and the skimmer chamber will slowly drain. I’ve had to raise the water level in my return. I fought with my skimmer for the last month or so until I figured out that the ATO was making it over flow. It’s something I’m going to have to keep an eye on. @mixer911 any suggestions here?

You want to keep the ato sensor as close to the desired water level that you want in the skimmer section as well. The baffle mainly is part of the bubble trap and will allow you to visually see the level to setup the ato with it.

Awesome this was my solution I never really considered it as it only recently started becoming an issue I seemed to be chasing the skimmer I didn’t realize the skimmer chamber wasn’t being kept constant at first. Thanks for helping. Loving this sump overall.

update…. Bring back an old dead thread. Unfortunately tank crashed back in ‘20.
I had an outbreak of aptasia that had gone unnoticed and started killing my SPS in an attempt to save everything I moved all the coral in to my frag tank. Set up with new rock unfortunately it never recovered.
sold what could be saved and kept the equipment, Sold it a year later after we moved house…..

I just bought the parts for a new mixing station…
