Fellow Houstonian here.
Your build is absolutely amazing. Really like the furniture.
Question, how are you going to get in the tank to place rocks and corals? Seems a bit tight.
I went with Reefbreeder Photon and T5s as well. Really happy with it so far.

to answer ggNOre she may need to remove the canopy to do the aqua scaping also gonna have to remove some of that water or it will over flow the sump with the rock.

Hi fellow Houstonian! @kutcha was correct...the canopy is extremely lightweight and slides off easily once the top panels are removed. Everything except the two side doors come off easily.Fellow Houstonian here.

That’s definitely planned once the aquascape is ready to go in. I had to deal with a plumbing issue and wanted to run full to ensure it’s fixed properly and get a start to the cycle.

Very nice. I read through your build thread, but didn't see the tank dimensions, is it 24"x24"x96" ? I've been contemplating a 350 long (24"x24"x120") for my next tank, but yours looks perfect for the room.

You’re absolutely right, it’s 24 x 24 x 96
Now that it’s installed it looks smaller than that! Lol

We bought a model home with lots of built ins. I thought I like them but now I just feel a lot of jealousy. Your room looks like a million$.

Awww Thank you so much!!!!
I was terrified about tearing out the built ins because they did add a lot of charm to the house.
what is behind that wall cause if it is a unused room it would be really cool to make one of those book cases next to the tank a hidden door into a filtration room/fish room.

That would be awesome!!!! Unfortunately the master bathroom is behind the wall so I had to put the sump under the tank.

To Apex or not to Apex...that is the question...

Hi everyone, hope you’re having a good week! The tank is still cycling...it seems to be taking forever but I’m being super careful and taking it slow to ensure that my finned babies will have a solid cycle for the big move.
I’m starting to consider adding an automated monitoring system like the Apex or GHL. There are so many mixed reviews on these it’s made me hesitant to spend the money or put my trust in it. If anyone reading this uses automated monitoring I’d love to hear your experiences with it. Was it worth the money? Any regrets or recommendations?
