Seems like the WB sump varies a lot based on the model. Some have the ato reservoir combined and other separate. Larger sumps do have an adjustable divider between the refugium and skimmer sections. I do like their plumbling (larger systems have manifold and gate valve). I hate the RS diaphragm valve. The WB stand and tank seem high quality. I’m just wondering about customer support at this point...

Sorry i meant h80. It does work well for me right now Yes will most likely get a custom sump because i don’t use filter socks and I like a larger refugium dos x 2 is definately an option if there is enough room in the cabinet Those nero seem to move to a lot of water it’s the same rating at the gyre (6000gph) Would love to know how the quality compares with the red sea. Gallong for gallon they seem more expensive than red sea. Not sure how CS compares to red sea which is the goal standard imo

with the cold weather coming in, I can't help but plan for a new SPS tank build. I started in the hobby one year ago with a red sea reefer 170 and I have learned so much from it (mostly by committing every single mistake there is). I've been planning this new build for a month now and because I'm still a newbie I would like some feedback if possible my current set up includes red sea 170, hydra hd26 LED, bubble magus skimmer, jebao dosing pump and brs 2 part, custom sump with refugium and kessil a80 refugium light, apex 2016, tunze ato, vectra S1 pump, mp10qd. Tank - Peninsula tank.
