Your tank is still young. I am talking about fully stocked SPS tanks.

I am gonna buy the 27" razor and test it out.

 

Word. I forgot I found an ada 90p with the razor, and he loves it. The 90p is the same size as the new tank I'm getting.

 

Cant wait to see what you do with the razor!!!

How much was your RO unit?

 

And damn dude, I thought you said the razor was gonna take a while!

 

A bit under 150 shipped...went with the refurbed Spectrapure 90gpd unit since it's the best bang for buck. This thing is brand new! :D

 

As for the Razor...it was supposed to... :bling:

 

 

 

Here are the obligatory crappy phone pics:

I KNOW YOU MAN! :haha:

 

I agree. I originally was planning a smaller setup, or maybe even using the razor nano over this tank...but the price difference didn't really make it worth it for me.

Yeah, I still think the nano razor is a bit overpriced...but I'm the only one who thinks that way....soo, and yeah the maxspect razor is more worth it because of the two clusters, and the silver plate for just $100 more ahah.

No man, I'm right there with ya. I think it's overpriced, hence I didn't get it!

 

You on the other hand would pay an extra $100 JUST for the metal plate! :haha:

Nah, not just for the metal plate but also for the extra cluster and length of the unit. :)

Lolol no...............................

 

You'd be the first to buy it man! Maxspect Razor Metal Plate Lighting System! :haha:

 

Sweet!! RAZOR! It looks pretty nice mounted on the tank. Makes me want to get one. lol

 

Thanks man! It'll look better once it's hanging though.

 

lol now hurry up and get that thing wet!

Get it wet!

 

This may be where it slows down a tad. I still have to drill the tank (scurred) and design/build the sump first.

 

Speaking of which...any opinions on where to put the overflow? I was thinking just top right corner. Opinions?

 

That and I'm not EXACTLY sure how low to put it below the rim. I like a full, close to the rim look, but want to be able to stick my arm in with the return pump is turned off for maintenance, etc. GH's instructions say plan on the water level running 1/8” to 1/2” above the box...so maybe 3/4" down...maybe 1"? Not sure.

 

Brad or someone else with overflow experience, please chime in!

 

Don't listen to those guys!! lol Take your sweet time!! lol JK

 

Did you figure out your overflow yet?

 

Hahahaha, I may have jumped the gun, but I'm far from ready to get her wet.

 

Yeah well, I got the overflow in, now it's a matter of finding the correct placement...

Fine, I'm sure Maxspect will sell you just the metal piece though...:haha:

 

I like it better right in the center but that's just me.

 

Really? It would be hard to get perfectly centered and stand out more IMO. I could also put it on one of the shorter (width) ends of the tank, but I dunno how I feel about that...

Wow, stop it already lol....

 

I'd pay $5 for that piece alone honestly lol. And just keep it in the drawer LMAO.

I agree. Center it with dual returns maybe? One on each side? 0: I like this build!

 

Yes!

 

How would it be hard to center, just grab a ruler and center it lol..

I dunno about the dual return part...like split the return line with a Y? I'd need another lily pipe too...

 

Y'all are my making my simple build more complicated! :lol:

 

Yes!

Sorta...but in practice this would lead my OCD self to measure over and over and over. I still think it's more distracting in the middle....hmmm. I'll have to ponder on this one. :)
