I totally didn't see that you had one, I have one also and I couldn't agree more. I have never had to deal with filter socks and hearing from others I'm glad I don't. I change my roll out once every 3 or so months and I'm good to go. I think I need to start having it "turn" more often as my water isn't as clear as it has usually been.

Yeah mine was going through a full roll in about a month and a half and water was super clear. I slowed mine down now and it is not as clear but still does its job. I am glad I don’t have to deal with filter socks every week.

It's a very nice set up. I have the XL300. Depending on your live stock choices I would suggest a Clearview lid mesh top. They are custom made for Red Sea tanks and don't take away from the ascetics but keep your fish from being harmed.

Tank looks amazing. Great coral growth!!!
Thanks, I was kind of bummed a few months back lost a couple SPS colonies for unknown reasons possibly nudibranch toxin but it allowed me to start over with some new frags. Only SPS ive really lost in almost 2 years so that spot top left is kind of bare but should fill in 6 months.

Here’s my system,
Been running for about 2.5 years. It’s my first tank , tea enjoying the hobby. I resealed this led pentagon tank but honestly in the near future I’d like to upgrade to a slightly larger seamless corner tank. DIY 75 gallon sump on the basement.
