Thanks Claudia! Appreciate it!

Thanks PR - I had a LOOOONG time to plan this out through four years of renovation on the house - I was chomping at the bit to do this build with a lot of pent-up energy : ) Always here to help with what I can - ask away my friend!

Thanks so much - appreciate the kind words and the watch!

Thanks Doug! Had waaaay too much time to plan this build, LOL...

Thanks Josh - appreciate it! Lots more to come - I'm trying to get something out at least weekly...

Thanks Arrick - I appreciate the binge watch! : )

Thanks Logan - Happy to have you along for the ride!

Thanks Brandon - appreciate you stopping by to watch!

Thanks Robert - yes, designing the roller filters now actually - agree they are essential. I'm getting so tired of washing filter socks! Funny you mention a bypass, mine will have a motorized bypass valve that opens at night, to allow coral foods to circulate in the system (skimmer is turned off also). Fuge will be chaeto, at least that is the plan - still dosing nitrate and phosphate at this point, so when the fish load goes up, plan it to remove that nutrient dosing and add the chaeto for the pH boost. Will eventually build a CA reactor as well - I have some some LPS and a few acro frags in there right now, and two part demand is 450ml a day(!) plus a gallon of kalk, mainly I think from all the coralline. Videos are about 4-5 months behind real time... trying to catch up as fast as I can!

Thanks Mikko!

Thanks CAE! Appreciate the sub, and happy to have you along. I'm always learning, one of the things I love about this hobby, so I'm sure there will be questions!

Hey ASD - thanks for following along! I would still add the DIY Led's just because I can adjust all the various channels for color rendition, which is its basic function - plus adding a little more lower blue spectrum. I love the Orpheks, but they aren't adjustable at all - no color channels, etc just on/off. I had all the LED drivers already leftover from other builds (some hydroponic lighting I built a while back) so the cost was really just the LED's and the heatsink, which was about the most cost effective solution I had for a 6ft multi-channel light that spanned the whole tank. I love the Kessils, but since these are the 360we's, not the 360x's the spectrum adjustment is a little limited. I'm going to be doing another lighting video with a par map of the tank and will get into it a little more then. Good question though! And its kind of funny, the corals look best with just the DIY led strip on, LOL - go figure...

Thanks Hunter - yes, flex PVC is some good stuff, and especially useful for those awkward angles and connections to remove complicated multiple elbows. Plus, if you are in earthquake country like me, they are also useful for isolating elements such as sumps from tanks for that little bit of extra protection against the shaking.

Hi there - I'm using the Reef Octopus Varios 8's for everything. Great pump, and very quiet.

Those are manufactured steel brackets that are attached to the studs and then drywalled in. I think it was video 1 in which he covered those.

@@elslice Hunter is right, it is a company called www.countertopbracket.com/ and they have a lot of great bracket solutions. Check out episode 1 on fishroom basics...
