Hey Guys!

After a few months of wait, My Innovative Marine 100G internal and APS stand arrived. I literally might be the first guy in the Atlanta area with this tank since I pre-ordered it. Will be posting the part list and pics of the tank as I go.

That's a very nice setup!!! Great job on the plumbing too!

The only thing I question is the fuge light. It might be a bit big for the footprint it's going to cover.

You might be right... but I figured the bigger the better since I wanna try the Triton setup.

Plumbing all glued!!

That's a clean looking setup. Top of the line. What is the rough stock plan? Sps dominant?

That exactly what I was going to say. Clean! Great job on the plumbing!

I have one recommendation. Get the fuge light installed and see how much light it casts into the adjacent sump chamber. Then use a piece of black acrylic cut to size to use as a shield to block the light from hitting the skimmer along with any other submerged surface you don't want the light to hit. This will keep algae from growing where you don't want it. Wherever light hits, no matter how thin a sliver it is, algae will start growing there. This will help keep the maintenance down and keep the bubble chamber of the skimmer operating better.

Let me know if you need any help setting up the Apex. I'd be more than happy to lend a hand with it.

This is build is looking really great! I love innovative marine products and I plan to do a similar build in the future. Unsure if i'll go with EXT or INT overflow aquariums though. Looking forward to more updates as you progress, thanks for sharing!
