I love your build, I have been in I.T for about 7 years and i have the same attitude you do. there is vary few things i can't do or figure out. just need the right tools. my next build will be in the main floor of my house like what you have done. keep up the good work, you have given me a lot of ideas. feel free to check out my system.

Thanks your looks good, I should make a video walk through but need to finish up a few things first

Any Updates @dstienmann I wanted to know what are you using for flow for the return pump and the low in the display tank. I am asking bc I am picking up my 240g glasscages tank tomorrow.

Im currently using a Huge Reeflo gold hammerhead/Barracuda, But have it throttled down around 95% dropped my flow to Utilizize the UVs to their fullest. Want to replace with something thats not sucking down 280W
and adding in neptune flows soon and probs a chiller

Ive noticed about at least micro 3 bubbles in the starfire glass panels, IDK if they use a lower grade glass or just the nature of it, took me about a year to see them ( but tank wasnt up most of that time)

The setup looks awesome. How much do you think that tank weighed when you got it? I am ordering the new apex today and I am thinking about running the Reef Octopus Varios-8 (2700 gph) or the Vectra L1 (3100 gph) for my return, but my sump will be under the stand. This is the biggest tank I have owned, so still trying to figure everything out. I appreciate the help and the advice.

Around 4-500 lbs Id say, I rented that lift and never really had to carry it just sliding it in and out of the truck and on to the stand (Luckily my stand is outside!) I wanted to get 2 L1s and may still but im pumping from the basement all the way up
