Well here’s an update if anyone seems to be interested. So far so good! All parameters seem to be stable so far, my nitrates ate a little high but I believe it’s because I used the last owners sand ??*♂️. Wish I had gotten new but it’s done ok, surprisingly. I’ve added 2 more fish and will...

Man. What a headache. Figured it out and took care of it. Completely leak free. The only problem is the noise now. That’s a work in progress. Any tips? Bean animal style overflow.

Ok god has answered and this is not a seal leak. It is the bulk head on my overflow. I officially do not want this overflow any longer. Maybe it’s just me but nothing about this thing is good to me. 16in shadow overflow from synergy.

Ok really bad news. Turns out I have a leak. FML. It’s at the bottom somewhere I can’t see. I need help. So far everything points to tear down and re silicone. I’m at the point of tears this sucks so bad. Do you have any suggestions?

Hey guys. I started this thread in the getting started category but thought I’d move over to this side. Here’s my build and progress. Things are looking good and going well. Having a few issues with over flow but overall digging the setup this far. I bought a used 150g cube off Craigslist about...

Thank you man!

They arrived! These are killer! Seem like a great product! Now to get cycled and stocked!

Well just made a purchase. I found 2 lightly used Maxspect razor r420r 130w for 150 a piece! Should fit the tank great with good coverage and I can actually program them. Super excited! Anyone have experience with these?

Anyone have any suggestions for good coverage on this footprint? Having trouble finding best fit.

Update: after reaching the point of dropkicking my overflow [emoji23] I managed to figure it out! Running quiet and smooth! Same with sump. Skimmer is puttin in work now as well and tank is cleared up. Fora pretty blind scape job I’m happy with the outcome. The lights that it came with are...

I did I tried all the way open to all the way shut. And everything in between. It’s maddening. It’s supposed to be a full siphon and silent. Also seems like it’s coming out way to fast. If I slow it down it fills up enough to hit the emergency. I don’t understand.

Ok update on progress. Got tank set up and filled. Also scaped. Just too cloudy to show off the rock work. Having issues. Return seem to be too small. Then my ghost overflow that’s supposed to be dead silent is so loud it’s alarming. What am I doing wrong!? Can’t figure it out.

Easy enough. Thank you again! Now to clarify idk how the pic of the in tank shot got uploaded but all my rock is still in a 40gal barrel with a heater and powerhead. The tank was up and running until just before I got it. He drained it and put rock in barrel.

Awesome thank you sniper! Any suggestions on source?

Ok people I just bit the billet and lucked into a pretty much plug and play used tank for a steal. 150 gallon cube with starphire glass and a ghost overflow and 60gal sump. I’m gonna need help getting this thing back together. Never ran a sump before and I have a lot to learn. This thing is...

here’s the skimmer, return, and heater. Also what about these powerheads? Would they be worth it or should I go another route?

Man I did not know that! Thank you for that lol. I’m really inexperienced when it comes to sumps. How do I know how big and sizes to have? Is there a standard sizing per gallon?

Ok guys. Getting my stuff together. Going to take some time to get everything I need but I’m starting with the tank most importantly. Going to get a 80g StarFire 32x24x24. With center overflow. Building my own stand and probably going to diy the sump unless I find a good deal. Also read a lot on...

What about this...

Awesome thank you! I’m gonna check them out! That’s definitely something I don’t want to go cheap on.
