Also, here are some videos and some photo updates since the build took place! I was kinda upset how when i received everything the light housing was bent up and scratched i also recieved 2 doors with eraser size holes 4 of them on each door, as well .. the skimmer was cracked and manufacturer defect on the cut. They were more then happy to send me a new light as well doors and a skimmer! Awesome customer service with redsea! Last picture is of the tank tonight. Hope you guys enjoy, please ask questions! Super hyped for coming back into the hobby. My fish line up is insane but i know i cant have them all in here... =/ but i shall see and hunt for the smallest of fishies!!

The tank looks really nice so far, and great rock work

It’s interesting you’ve added the MP40 as the rear circulation pumps provided a lot of water movement already

I honestly was gonna go with the 2 MP10s but i didnt know if i should do that or just do an mp 40. also, was thinking of a future upgrade so i save some cash on the wavemaker portion lol

Hey guys, so i have a question. Since i have nothing in the tank currently. I was wondering, any of you have a in particular lighting schedule for LPS /ZOAS also for a mixed reef as well a SPS DOM tank for the AI HYDRA 26HD leds?

I run my lights from 11.30-22.00 on the following which are the Red Sea reef spec settings but I also go ‘blue’ from 7pm because I prefer that in the evenings. I have a 1 hour ramp up and around 3 hour slow ramp down in blue in the evenings.

Ammonia 0ppm
Nitrites 2ppm
Ph 7.8ppm
Nitrates 10ppm

Its going on its 20th day cycling gonna test tomorrow and see where the levels are at, just ordered cal / alk & mag test kits as well another bucket of ESV salt mix.

How is your E-260 coming along? I picked up a used one in March and I live mine. It has the cabinet sump. I had a 38 gallon bowfront that I had running for almost 3 years that I've combined into one tank.

Here is a pic of my tank.
