    Can you give us a FTS or two so we can see all the relative placement?

    At work, so had to get creative with the mockup. The vertical line is my overflow box.

    Been slacking on the updates. Lights arrived. Love how small, compact and sleek looking the Radion is!

    Decided to make a DIY stand. Had a plan laid out, but in typical fashion it was altered several times along the way. Things got a little cramped working in my kitchen too....but it was too cold & late to work in the garage.

    Looks great! That seems like a huge CUC for a fresh tank? I'm pretty new. It either I'm correct or my CUC is way lacking in my 40 day old 29 gallon. Congrats on the vortec set. Very nice equipment! Any chance for a good pic of your sump?

    Thanks! CUC is def a little overstocked right now, but Reefcleaners hooked it up and threw in extras. I've been ghost feeding to keep everything happy as I'm still waiting on a pair of Picasso clowns to turn up. I do plan to take some sump shots after I get the ATO and reactor in place.

    Also finished my side cabinet over the weekend. Needed something to hide my ATO reservoir, ballast, cords, etc. Like the stand it's a little rough around the edges up close, but overall solid and does the job perfectly.

    Thinking about growing mangroves on top of the cabinet. It would look pretty cool to have a little forest on the side of the tank. That's down the road though...
