Today I received my baffle from Octoaquatics.com. It fits perfectly in the sump. I'll be placing chaeto in there and maybe the carbon reactor. Not 100% sure yet.

Yes you did! The 130 is the perfect size tank.nice build 130.4 like this makes me taking the right choise on a 130.4
Sweet. I've been eyeing up the same thing. Hope it works out well.Today I received my baffle from Octoaquatics.com. It fits perfectly in the sump. I'll be placing chaeto in there and maybe the carbon reactor. Not 100% sure yet.
Thanks! Yes, I've been a bit under the weather. But here is a snapshot. I also had to reduce the tubing. I found this splicer at my local LFS along with a small piece of 1" clear tubing. It's a 1" x 3/4" barb splicer. You can also find them at your local Home Depot or Lowes.Any updates? Looks awesome so far. What did you use to connect your pump to the return hose? I just got a Syncra 7.0 for my 130.4 and realized the hose won’t fit
That’s tempting.. I wonder how long the rolls last? If a month then I might stick to cleaning out socks.. if couple months I think I’ll get oneAn update guys I received my Klir Di-4 roller filter. I plan on still using a filter sock on the first slot and the Klir filter on the 2nd one. They're on special right now at if you're interested. https://www.marinedepot.com/246.html
That's a good question. I'm getting different results mainly from new users. They've said as long as 2 months to as little as 28 days. Depending on how dirty the water is. I might install a 2nd one.

That's awesome congrats on the purchase. You're going to love the 130.4. The one thing I would change on my build as I'm moving forward might be my return pump. I might change it from the Syncra SDC 9.0 to the 7.0 Some people like the high turn over. I actually like a slower turn over and higher flow in the display. The 9.0 might be a bit to powerful for my personal needs. Best of luck with your build.A lot of good information here, I just placed my 130.4 order with waterbox last week. I'm looking forward to starting my build hopefully soon. Still have things to purchase and researching products much the same.

I check my emails constantly for the shipping email to come. I went with the Vectra S2 DC Pump for my return along with VorTech - MP40wQD. I'll most likely need to purchase another Mp40 to have 2. I'm slow building this thing and promised myself I wouldn't rush into it. Still have much more to purchase though.That's awesome congrats on the purchase.
