Great start. Be sure to stock up on the fleece rolls.

I’ve got a decent stock pile of filter fleece. I did have to order a new float switch for the filter roll. Trigger systems got back to me really fast via email and is mailing one out. If it fails again I’ll upgrade to the new sensor they have.

The corner braces were a requested modification for additional support. I like the feeling of a bit more security

I’ve added my yellow tang from Biota. Seems to be doing great. Already picking at my rock algae and gets along well with my clowns.

How much space is needed behind the tank. I have the same tank and am wanting to tile under it.

Is that fleece roller using the V2 motor controller? I'm almost at the point of buying one of those sumps.
