Oh the plumbing was all Robert from Neptune. He did an amazing job. Here is the build thread https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/therealmadmax-monster-tank-build.31172/

Oh definitely need a longer tube. I also bought a light cover for the tube since it would be right next to my sump lights. They also say to set it to the slowest release when using it in a sump configuration. Looking something like this.

Awesome! Can’t wait to get it setup. Given my sump flows to two display tanks I think I am going to install it in the last section right before the return pump. M

Anyone tried one of these yet? I picked one up to setup to provide plankton. Pretty well built and thoughtful design. Once I get it fully setup and running I’ll report back. I really like the idea of the mixing tube. I always wonder what portion of the auto feeder food goes straight to my fleece...

My weekend project …..

Nice! I’d be down to pick one up from you

I’m printing up two of these, one for the original and one for the NP. The files are floating around. If you come up with a more compact single version let me know! https://printedreef.com/products/neptune-apex-trident-mini

For the sink drain I would suggest ceramic vs stainless steel. I tried to completely eliminate any stainless steel from my utility sink given the salt water from cleaning protein skimmers etc will eventually start corroding.

Are your lights Controled or bridged via the WXM module? I have had screwiness with the lights when the wifi goes out even if the Apex is hardwired. I have since moved away from the WXM and now just use the Apex as a kill switch and have the light cycle controlled separately.

Any Water Dive Center in San Jose and Aquarius in Monterrey are both excellent local dive shops. I sometimes help out on the dive classes.

Welcome! Very cool project! If you dive and want a partner to look for some in the rocky reefs of Monterrey just let me know. My oldest son is really into underwater macro photography. He loves finding nudis, some of his absolute favorites. https://www.instagram.com/tycho.k.muller/

I volunteer with Reef Check. We dive up and down the coast performing surveys. Every year we have to be recertified in algae, invertebrates and fish. Caulerpa is one of the invasive species we train to identify and report immediately if detected on any survey.

OMG! That is gut wrenching. How do the inside seals look? Did they get flexed at all? Ps - If you do find a big tank anonymous group please let me know ;)

We got some great finds! The kids all picked out pieces. Lucy's BA Reefer sweatshirt showed up today ;)

Yes! Great meeting last night. Do you have the link to order the hoodies?

Ha! Yeah wasn’t cheap, but at least he didn’t pick the three headed one!

We had a great time at CFM last night! I brought my kids and they had so much fun picking out coral and collecting stickers ;) We got a few zoas, a really unique mushroom, my 5th grade daughter found a rock flower anemone that she named bluey and my 7th grader found a really cool yellow...

Yeah time to fire up the second protein skimmer ….

A few pics of the tank. Still a lot of gluing left to do ;) Robert you need to rename this thread ...
