The way it’s glued together is beautiful no silicone at all. Background totally hidden when water and lights on. I cut ato res out too it gave me some confidence on build quality.

I think the stand was ace but a few minor bubbles in the silicone. I'm not bothered about it but it's in the front bottom so you can see the light reflect on them... Quote Link to comment

Mine was cracked and when replaced it, I snapped it when tightening so just changed to same bulk head as others. Quote Link to comment
Murphs_Reef Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Yeah the plumbing was fine the value is too tight to get the flow in and out balanced right so I end up with a constant trickle down the emergency pipe though.. The only grumble I had was the bubbles in the silicone.. wish I seen it in the shop but missed it. Stunning tank. I have 2 AI prime 16hd and a DD jump guard over the top so looks clean as fu.ck Will have to check your build thread out, I'm still pissin around with flow cause the weir is so deep into the tank it makes some good dead spots My build thread here https://www.nano-reef.com/forums/topic/418257-reefspace-900-mixed-reef/ Quote Link to comment

Yes but skim from overflow not bad if quiet as that will skim water surface. I have noted that may upgrade to a gate valve already so I’m with u. Very hard to dial in. I have quite flex in dual pumps so cud higher/lower them to balance too. Running valve say 2oclock. Primary at 3x and secondary at 1x. Im balanced but may do gate valve and bring water say 5mm lower.

Yeah my water is running quite high, maybe too high for my liking.. it would be good to bring down a little. My value is set to around 2 o'clock as well and the TMC reef pump return around 13 if the sock is clean and 12/11 when it's starting the get dirty. I tried for hours to balance with the valve and ended up just adjusting the pump speed every other day, which is less than ideal if I'm honest Quote Link to comment
