Nyos Opus G2300

[Finn450]

The Nyos 300 has been up and running for about a month now. I wanted to go with an external overflow for this build. First impressions are the Aquarium, sump and stand are very well made. The seams on the tank are perfect. The navy background in quite nice...it's an extremely dark blue...almost black. The other reason I went with Nyos was to get away from the membrane drain valves...previous 4 builds have been RedSea. Nyos had switched to a ball valve late last year. Unfortunately my system came with the membrane wheel valve. I reached out to Nyos and Aperture to get the updated valve...no response other than thanks for contacting us, we'll get back to you. Once I filled the tank I noticed a bubble in the front pane...middle of the tank so it's constantly in viewing. I reached out to Nyos and Aperture about the bubble...same lack of response. I'm ordering the 32mm parts to swap to the main drain ball valve. Again the system in general is very nice and at a decent price point...the lack of customer service is just the norm I guess.

Love the way your scape looks!

Thanks! I wanted to go single structure for the SPS and will do a Torch island in the open area. The external overflow was a game changer for me...always had internal taking up real estate.

Looks great! Guess I need to get my thread up :grimacing-face: Have you thought about adapting the 32MM to 1"? This is what I'm doing to hard plumb in the Reefmat, may make plumbing easier down the road if you add anything.

thanks...thought about the 1" but found everything I need on Amazon for $60...so I'll keep it uniform...for now.

Everything has settled down and stabilized. The plan is to start the torch garden in the front right of the aquarium. The sump is shown to highlight the "wheel" membrane valve...my hope is that Nyos and Aperture send me the upgraded ball valve.

Is the ball valve the upgraded part to have? I have the wheel as well but I thought the wheel was better because it’s easier to fine tune the water. I hear ball valves are good at shutting water on and off but not to make minor adjustments

I have no issues with the ball valve, not sure which is better in this case, but the gate valve has rusted on these before.
