    Thanks, I also thought about hanging it inside the canopy at first but was nervous about moisture/salt creep getting to the radion fan. So decided to just lay it on top and left the back of the canopy open to allow moisture to escape.

    Thanks, this is actually one of the main reasons I got this cube. I've always been fond of tall rock work. Makes it much easier to have SPS up top and soft corals on the bottom and have them all happy.

    Thanks. I do need to adjust the canopy, Didn't realize I would have an air gap between the waterline and canopy until I filled it up.

    Redid the plumbing today because i wanted the return pump to power my two BRS reactors too...had to do a bit of thinking but got it to work. Changed out my Syncra Sicce 2.0 for an Eheim 1262 and split the return to power the reactors.
