If you are referring to the picture where I showed the emergency drain mod, I think that may just look black from the camera angle.. It's still the factory gray metric pipe and I used (2) 45 degree 40mm metric fitting I got from Uxcell on Amazon.

oh gotchya! Your build has been great inspiration for us! We can't wait to start working on our tank! Thanks for all the explanations!

Any new updates of the tank?
I ran my main drain over to the roller like you did. Have you experienced any sagging from the weight of the long horizontal run of the main drain? That was my only concern doing it this way.

Looking good there! your setup is coming along nicely.

I totally get what you are asking and I had the same concern. I ended up cutting the Redsea corrugated piping a little longer than was needed to connect to the PVC so that it would push upwards a bit providing support for the long horizontal run.

haha you totally reminded me that I need to get around to posting some livestock and tank updates as it's been awhile.

Haven't really posted any updates since setting up the tank in January so figured I was overdue.

Fish stocking front
so far I've added the following
- (2) reef chromis
- (2) designer clowns
- (2) Banggai cardinal
- Coris wrasse
- Royal Gramma
- Coral Beauty
- CBB

My main focus has been getting the Copperband acclimated and eating like a pig. I've had him for about a month now and so far have only been able to get it to eat live black worms. Been mixing in frozen of all varieties but seems to have no interest after having been spoiled by black worms. I just ordered a 3D printed copperband feeder and maybe going to try freezing the blackworms and putting it in the feeder along with mysis next - fingers crossed

Diatoms
Been also battling diatoms (at least I thiiink its diatoms for the past month after having mostly avoided the uglies for the first 6months. I'm terrible at water testing but finally got around to testing recently and it's obvious I need to raise my PO4. Also would like to get my alk and CA up a bit.

Alk: 7.0
CA: 380
MG: 400
Nitrate: 7.1
Phos: 0

Corals
I've been a bit slow adding coral but recently got a bunch of frags from a buddy of mine. Not really confident in my tanks stability just yet so have them hanging out in my nano that's much more mature. Plan to throw them into the main display once I get my doser dailed in.
