I'm currently working on a new sump for my frag system (2x40gals,lowboy50,20gal) 40breeder sump.i designed it like a waterfall system.  Hopefully it'll roll cheats for me. It should have plenty of surface skimming and cleaning and also a safe heaven for pods and other creatures. 4 baffles,I still need to add some more sealant and another baffle for bubble trap. 1(live rock/skimmer/media cups/socks),2(rock medias),3(sanded refugium),4(free floating macro/heater),5 (pumps)

Love the waterfall baffle system.

I’m busy working on a fun 15 gallon cube for my Green Spotted Puffer to be in until he outgrows it. It’s got a neon green bottom and I’m going to have GSP in it too so lots of fun neon green all around. 

 Go Green.  Wait, I meant to say Go Beaves!  (Orange)    

The tank looks sweet.   For contrast, you could add some Montipora Setosa and get that vibrant orange pop.  (plus, it's generally easy)

I ran a water line for ATO to the garage mixing station and an airline to pull fresh air from outside. Now it on to cable management, looks like a rats nest in the cabinet.

My favorite wire mgt solution is Wire Ducts.   I've ordered them in multiple sizes, going all the way up to big.  Here's a link for 4" wide, by 1.5" tall.    Go back to their Wire Duct level, and see all the options.

Got an Apex A3 and a Trident so I will be setting that up and some other stuff for this weekend.

Calibrate DOS (Ran new lines that are a lot longer)

Pull out Calurpa (Taking Algae filter / fuge off line, i don't think its doing anything)

Vac detritus in sump, or pull it out and hose it off in the yard (PM schedule)

Deep clean skimmer (PM schedule)

Swap out GFO & Carbon (PM schedule)

Fill auto feeders (PM schedule)

You've got a good punch list of activities!   Congrats on getting an Apex and Trident.   Between these two, I have diagnosed and improved temp control, alk control, pH issues, and tuned my Ca Reactor & Kalk addition cycles.   I feel it has really helped me.

For example, I've timed my current Kalk consumption rate to 4 days.
