First corals in! Also added a few Kessil 160s to add some shimmer which I really like.

Tonight I was able to cut and install a custom sump cover to hopefully kick back on the condensation that builds up under the cabinet. Also I was able to get the CO2 scrubber added to the skimmer with a recirculating design.

Thanks for the help! I can confirm my stand does not include this retrofit part. I sent a request to Red Sea since it looks like they provide these parts free of charge. Also I don't have the armored edges on the glass, it's just straight silicon to the glass. I appreciate you looking out!
hello,

do you have a link to the armored edges? Thank you

Following! I've been looking for a build similar to yours! Is your t-slot attached to the wall or the tank stand? Do you have any issues with weight from the Icons since they are like 15 lbs each?

The bar is mounted to the back of the stand. It takes the weight just fine but I went a little overkill and did the 3"x3" extruded. The bar goes all the way to the ground and takes most of the weight.

everything looks great! I also just set up a 650.

What par is the stag/green slimmer at?
Thanks! I haven't taken a direct measurement of that coral but I'm guessing ~250

It's been a while since posting, had some ups and downs but lately been struggling on the coral front. Not sure if it's because I dosed some Nitrate and things need to balance out... see thread
