Like @PrimeTimeReef said, removing the baffle was the hardest part but even that wasn't bad. I used https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/reefmat-sump-modification-kit-red-sea.html which made it supper easy. You also don't have to hard plumb it and can use the flex the Reefmat comes with if that's easier for you.
Thanks! Leaning toward installing the ReefMat 500 in the sump.
How did you manage to get it level? It’s my main concern (looking at the 440) of the slim version.
Shims from Home Depot, I really should have elaborated on that post. It was a pain because I was doing it myself, up and down, up and down. It wasn't any more difficult than any other tank I've setup.
Thanks! I heard of someone installing levelling feet, so wasn't sure what approach you used. Appreciate the quick response.

Tank is coming along. Tanks have come that way for years, Elos I believe started this trend, in Red Seas case it appears they used cheap silicone. My seams are perfect still to this day. I wouldn't hesitate to buy the NYOS again, my only regret is not buying the bigger one
Congrats! I'm just in the process of setting up my 440. Yours is looking great! Did you have live rock / anything to help along with the cycle / were you moving stuff up from an established tank? Lots in there for a month in - great to see!I have been following this thread for a while and this OP made me decided to go with the Nyos Opus 300. Got mine on sale from BRS for $1600 - best looking tank for me so far. I set it up a month ago with my rock/coral from the old nano tank.
Thank you! The left island is from my 3 years old well established Red Sea Max Nano. But for the first 2 weeks, I use prodibio biodigest, micro bacter 7, and a little bit stability every 2 days. 0 ammonia from the first day until now. But I think because dosing a lot of the bacteria, and higher light, my ALK is dropping like crazy, today I am dosing 35ml AFR and 200ml of Kalk daily to keep up with the consumption.
Well, I live in Roanoke as well, considering buying this exact tank. Sell me this one, and you can buy the 440! lolTank is coming along.

You’re actually a year late as I had two and sold one brand new
