Well it's online . Had to modify the inlet , the outlet , and decided to T Off my ( also new today )Rio HF6 and add a valve to control the flow . Worked out really well . I can slow the flow down to a trickle for say feeding pods or stop it for maintenance . Also I can open it wide open and get approx 180 gph flush which is how I plan to convince the pods to exit the fuge if need be. Even with the valve just 1/4 way open there's still more flow in the DT then the stock pump. Have 4 brightwell bio blocks in the bottom plan on adding some sort of macro . Undecided on sand in the Bottom or not ?

I'm such a nerd :). Added a set of remote RGB LEDs in the refugium light . The PC light is so bright while I'm watching TV it sucks . So now when the tank lights shut off at 8pm the LEDs come on for 3 hrs before the fuge light comes on . Then at 6am the fuge light turns off , the LEDs turn back on for an hour till the main tank lights turn back on. Not sure if they will actually contribute to any macro growth but they can't hurt.

Just a little bit of bleed through but I think it's cool looking so for now it stays.
