i hope that lamp on the sump is secure! it looks like it may fall into the tank.

looks great, what is the hob filter on the right for?

 

[reefsahoy]

make sure you clean the mechanical filter often because the divider on the right side that seprate the pump from the refrugium is so high that if your filter gets blocked all the water will spill out of the sump or the return pump will run dry. you should have made it lower so if the filter gets clogged at least the water would go over into the pump area.

Very good point

thanks i am going to cut down the egg crate about 2.5 inches. do u think thats enough?

 

[Rockblast]

yeah that should be enough

 

[reefsahoy]

i personally would make the division in the pump area just a hair (1/2 inch) higher than the retainer wall for the refuge, that way if the filter is clogged the water height in the return will over flow and not make the pump run dry.
