I know it's ugly and a PITA........Many zip ties you will need
That is what I did... ^

This is more of a suggestion for everyone across the board.
Zip ties are a PITA. If something fails you have to snip everything then re-strap, usually in a terribly uncomfortable position halfway between kneeling and laying down. Threading through or around small holes, while trying to keep the bundle of wires together.
Not one pc of equipment will last forever, so it will payoff eventually to make simplified replacement a priority when setting up your wire routing plans.
I use these (below), and set them up during the build. They have put a smile on my face when I realized how easy it was to swap equipment and maintain a decent organized routing system.
I know it sounds like an ad, but I just really love these things. You can find at most of the big box hardware stores usually by home entertainment cables. I can try to get a good pic of how I used them.

That's correct!
The front glass doesn't rest on anything. Is this how it's supposed to be?

It's been a while I had posted an update.
The tank has cycled and i have a pair of small clownfish, a pigmy angel, and a melanarus wrasse. All four fish are doing great. No corals yet.
I did not raise the height of the R6-i skimmer but increased the pump speed and i think the skimmer has dialed in. It's producing wet skim at a very slow rate. I am running the pump at the mid power. How do I increase the skim quantity or make it to skim dry?

I just recently started running mine at full power and opened the valve to produce a dryer skimm

No I have not raised it. The valve is the long tube turn it to the right until you get the water level you want. The higher the water level the wetter the skim and the lower the dryer. If you look under the water outlet you will see the wedge pipe
Thanks Pablo!
When i run the pump at the full power and with the valve fully opened, i am collecting clear water. Right now, i am running the pump at two settings below the max power and i am only seeing fairly large bubbles to the beginning of the collection cup. Not sure how to get this thing working again.

Did anyone add refugium to your reefer tanks?
Also, I have a Gyre 150 on the right side of the tank and no powerhead on the left side. If i run the Gyre on high power it's causing sand issues. What do you suggest i do? Add another powerhead to the left side or move the current gyre?
