My IM EXT 100 Complete Reef Build

Sorry for the very late reply, it seems to be handling it just fine, I actually have it running at 70 or 80%.

Good to know. I figured that IM did the math and paired a proper return.

Thank you, im just over the HOB equipment and the joy of digging pumps and such out the back for service. However I do like having space under the cabinet and not sure how that will work with the new ext tank? How does manage this?

With the 100g since it comes with the 57g sump, cabinet space is limited. Outside the cabinet on the right side of my tank I will have the ATO res and a QT tank. I don't place on housing a ton of items outside of the cabinet but a few items for sure. I will likely have my controller items etc. mounted externally but that will be determined once the tank arrives. I want to measure it all out best I can. I am also considering attaching a UV sterlizer to the right 3/4" return pipe just before it enters the tank. I think everything else I can organize nicely inside without being crammed.

The vertical section was too tight for my UV a 25 watt Aqua UV. I ended up attaching to to the horizontal longer arm on the right side.
