Looking good. Why do you have feet on the stand?
Edit: Oops. Didn't see tank is already setup. Looks so neat!

The feet is in the case of water spill I can still clean underneath the stand.

Have finish transferring some coral and fish from the holding tank.

But most of the SPS didn't make it when inside the holding tank. :(

Beautifully minimal. Question - that long sweeping branch of rocks, all just epoxy holding it together?

Thanks.
Yes, I used epoxy and super glue to hold the small rocks together.
But I glue it on an acrylic rod first.

Very cool! I suspected there might be something in there for support!

I have tried without the support but it cannot hold the weight.

Cool addition
What is the other fish in the picture?
Is the overflow silent with the 1 valve?

Blue Eyes Cardinal (Apogon Leptacanthus)
Yes, it very silent. I follow the video of Synergy Reef to set up the overflow.

Decided to get the Reeflink since I'm using all Ecotech equipment.

The setting up is extremely simple. I just follow the step by the starting Guide and that it.

And now controlling the light, return pump and the MP 10 is just a click on the phone.

Gorgeous setup! Crazy that you didn't like the Deltec. Love mine :) I don't have to sit next to it though, so maybe its noisy too.

Sucks about the SPS in holding. Temporary setups and such seem so much harder to keep healthy for periods of time.

This is going to turn out awesome though.

Yes, maybe the skimmer is just next to me and I have no door for the stand, I keep hearing the hissing sound of it.
Luckily I sold off most of the coral before I shift to the holding tank, if not I'll suffer a greater loss.
