Ok everything’s working now and no leaks finally. For some reason if the vectra bolts are too snug the pump has an issue. This was told to me by a fellow reefer it happened to about 6 of his smh.

Been a while for those waiting. So tanks running for a bit now. I have the diy ats running great. Running vectra m2 for ats and display. No3 2ppm po4 .02. Did the frosted background as well. Lights are running off of these 4 smart plugs. Reef bar is first then 2 of 8 t5 turn on then remaining 6 turn on at 12. Then it ramps down the brightest turn off then the next 2 t5 then the reef bar. A fox face and 2 clowns in the tank so far. Today I added 6 fighting conches to clean the sand a bit as there is a little diatoms due to new sand I’d bet.
Looking like a good start

Free test pieces to make sure the waters good. Looking better already this was couple weeks ago. Nitrates at 1-2 phosphates about .1. I don’t check calcium or mag I just dose alk and add even amount of calcium same day. Alk 8-8.3

These were my testers. I haven’t got anything yet because I need to see temps as my tank is in my garage. Getting a battery back up and checking summer temps inside the basement. Might have to get chiller.
Looks like everyone is doing well
