I had 2 29G biocubes so they've been merged into a 90g Starfire rimless.
Open and closed loop circulation.
Apex Jr with Ph, Cond, Temp, WAV.
Tunze ATO

30% re-introduced live rock and sand. The rest is BRS Fiji rock.
Introduction of existing livestock was yesterday and I've been sifting through the sand in both 29g tanks to introduce as many healty pods as I can in the refug.
I've added a GFO since the sump pic was taken.
I've also stocked the refug.
The calc reactor isn't going in until I have established coral and know what I need to be dosing.

Looks like you insulated the cabinet doors and bubble wrapped some plumbing.............. Please elaborate. Thank you.

The plumbing isn't wrapped now. I wrapped that when I had the PW100 pump on the closed-loop. It make a lot of water turbulence noise in addition to the pump noise. I now have a Waveline DC2500H running that with similar current flow and it's practically silent and was a screw-in fit with 3/4" connections. Unfortunately, my Apex Jr is maxed out and I can not run the VDM on it. I have the Apex running 5m on and 1m off and it's running slightly warm at full-speed.

The foam board is there for splash noise and skimmer noise mostly. It also gives me a place to attach the abundance of Apex modules that won't fit on the door frames. :D

Here's a shot of my sump area after I installed an LED kit. It was meant for a BioCube I had, but I'm tossing them. So It's been turned into a bright refug light.
I still need to do some wire management. :D
