Awesome build mate! I have been following your build for a while and it definitely inspired me to get a WB 50.3 for myself. It should arrive next month! What’s the exact dimensions of the skimmer chamber (without baffles) if I may ask? Just wondering if it can fit my Tunze 9004 skimmer. Cheers mate

@vietreefer see this pic. Does this answer your question?? It’s 154mm x 120mm. It should definitely house 9004 skimmer.

I used a small fixture to raise my skimmer and reactor!!

This weekend update- plumbing.

I have a Chiller for this AIO. wanted to hard plumb, using the same return PUMP. So water goes to chiller & then to display.

Advantages??
A. Water level is constant whether chiller is operational or not
B. One pump doing the job. I have a spare on hand in the event something goes wrong
C. AIO space is limited, so can’t cram 2 pumps and less heat generated with one SICCEE 3.0 operating.

Here is the update on plumbing with pics. This is simple plumbing and it’s dry fit. Will then paint the outside pipes ORANGE and finalize gluing it over this week.

Alrite.... small update. Finally Finally finished the plumbing... I had to toggle between 3/4” & 5/8” barb fittings.
I added a bypass so that chiller can be taken off line as well and not effect my return.

Here are some pics.
Before : NO BYPASS

Update Update
Santa Monica 1.4 Drop arrived along with other goodies

What I really liked is the amount of light bleed into the room when it’s dark. It’s practically NIL. I’ve been excited about getting this for a LONG TIME. Finally here in time for the build. It will be fired up later ON, but much needed for the initial setup..

Not to forget, the amount of surface area there is for algae to grow is perfect. For AIO tank I think this is a better option, rather than HoB Style by Santa Monica.
