**Exciting Update on My DIY Stand and Sump Build for My 60-Gallon Rimless Aquarium!** 
I’m thrilled to share the latest progress on my DIY stand and sump project!
**What’s New?**- **Stand Design:** I've made some adjustments to the design to ensure it’s both sturdy and stylish. I can’t wait to show you the new look!
- **Sump Setup:** The sump is coming together beautifully! I’ve chosen some effective baffles for better filtration. What do you think about the layout? Any suggestions?
I’d love to share some photos of the progress! What specific angles or features would you like to see more of?
**Let’s Chat!**Have you done a similar build? What tips do you have for me?
Stay tuned for more updates, and feel free to share your thoughts!
Sorry about the last video if you was not able to see here is the lates update

First reactor of this built here is some pro and cons of this built and to get a good idea,on the next update ozone reactor,calcium and kalwaser reactors
Using a CO2 scrubber in a reef tank can offer several benefits, especially when it comes to maintaining optimal water quality and conditions for your coral and other marine life. Here’s a breakdown of the benefits and considerations of connecting a CO2 scrubber with an ozone reactor and then to an aquarium skimmer:
Benefits of a CO2 Scrubber for a Reef Tank:
1. pH Stability: CO2 scrubbing can help maintain stable pH levels in the aquarium by removing excess carbon dioxide, which can lead to lower pH levels and affect coral growth and health.
2. Improved Oxygen Levels: By reducing CO2 levels, a CO2 scrubber can enhance oxygen levels in the water, providing a healthier environment for fish and corals.
3. Coral Growth: A stable pH and improved oxygenation can promote better coral growth and overall health, which is essential for a thriving reef tank.
4. Reduced Algae Growth: Lower CO2 levels can help reduce the occurrence of unwanted algae blooms, creating a more balanced ecosystem.
Connecting a CO2 Scrubber with an Ozone Reactor and Skimmer:
Pros:
• Enhanced Water Quality: Combining these systems can lead to improved water quality by removing organic compounds, impurities, and excess CO2 simultaneously.
• Efficient Filtration: The ozone reactor can help oxidize and break down organic materials, which the skimmer can then efficiently remove from the water column.
• Synergistic Effect: Together, these systems can create a more stable and healthier environment for your reef inhabitants.
Cons:
• Complex Setup: Connecting multiple systems can complicate the setup and maintenance. It may require more space and careful planning to ensure proper flow and efficiency.
• Cost: The initial investment for a CO2 scrubber, ozone reactor, and high-quality skimmer can be significant. Ongoing maintenance and replacement parts can add to the cost over time.
• Potential for Over-Oxidation: If not carefully monitored, adding ozone to the system can lead to over-oxidation, which can be harmful to sensitive marine life.
Conclusion
Connecting a CO2 scrubber with an ozone reactor and skimmer can significantly enhance your reef tank’s water quality and stability. However, it’s essential to monitor the system closely and manage the balance of each component to avoid any negative effects on your aquatic life. Always consider your specific tank requirements and do thorough research before making any changes.
