Raeges 75 gallon Adventure

[PanchoG]

Whew! Skimmer pulled scrubbed dried and back in service. First time I ever had to scrub corraline off it which I take as a good sign it’s growing but a pita to clean from where I don’t want. All tasks completed but honestyinreefing I didn’t pull gha saving that for Sunday morning :rolleyes:
Here’s my view from the couch tohight

Perfect Ray, reef, couch and a drink.

Grats on the apex running...

As for the cabinet... u said u were going hunting... go check out the eco builders place next to the tracks on armory street in Springfield. By gasoline alley. They have a TON of choices for under 50 bucks. I'm sure ull find what you are looking for there.

Keep the updates coming bud. Reeftank365 is around the corner for u. I can feel it.

My tank looks like doo doo compared to those that win I need a little more time to make it presentable and have a real chance

Sounds like a triple dog dare Ray... dont back down to pops!

Both my Return pumps ( ones a spare) are cheapies one came with the tank other from a LFS both rated over 850 to ensure 10x turn over or display with head loss. Looking at sicce pumps or Neptune down the road.
For plumbing all flex hose no fancy pvc thoughts were less 45 degree turns less head pressure loss. Doing over now think having spots for reactors to plumb in might have been worth it but not a requirement.
Skimmer upgraded from a bubble magus curve 5 to a bubble magus curve 7 oversized for tank but wife and ya were overfeeders in beginning so helpful :p
Will snap pics of underneath for tomorrow.
Dont worry on the fancies you can be successful without apex. Plan it out buy best you can have spares for essentials and it can work fine. Lotsa guys and gals made the mistakes so do your research ask questions happy to help ya avoid our mistakes

JUST DO IT ALREADY ! ! !

 

[Raege]

Done! Peer pressure effective lol

@Acan_Fan as promised here’s cpl pics of fug area. It’s a bigger mess than usual starting to move plug to apex.
You can see flex return line here

 

[Raege]

Apex is online just a cpl outlets. Fuge light timer isn’t kicking back to reading on 2000 off 0600 auto and no light...... seems pretty simple hard to screw up but hey it’s me lol. Temp us reading cpl degrees low compared to two other thermometers one electronic one mercury that agree so need to check on that as well. Other than that feeling groovy

Ray I see you have two times listed on fusion. I have only one. Could your time difference be why your fuge light is giving you trouble

That I believe is actual and daylights savings time. They should match
