I love to see the fish on the tank!

Awesome! I purchased a Mode 100 gallon almost 8 months ago still haven’t had time to set up...

Hi Shrive81,

That's a beautiful job with painting the return bulkheads. Can I ask what paint you used? I also recently bought an Infinity 100G and painting the bulkheads would be a nice visual upgrade.

Thanks Shrive81 for the build thread. I'm thinking about the 100g Infinity as well. Would you be able to measure the dimensions of the first chamber of the sump that is just after the socks? I was hoping I could fit my skimmer in there and then be able to use the middle chamber as a refugium.

Ya so I had issues with the drain setup they provide as you can control the water level to stay consistent so I cut the main drain approx 5-6" and took about 1" off the emergency drain and made it into a full Herbie style and it works WAY WAY better now...

Could you please take a picture of how the overflow looks now with the adjustment in drain pipes?

What are the white panels (stand cover and doors) made of?
