I didn't find one locally. I couldn't find a CPR 90 overflow in town so I ordered the "Deluxe" from J&L which came packaged with the lid and the Aqualifter.

Cool little setup, my bother inlaw and I were talking about a little setup like that. With the red sea max, sump and refugium. Great idea, how big is the sump?
Can't wait to see the system up and running. Send more pictures please.

The inside of the RSM cabinet is 22WX18DX24H. I had Golds build the largest sump that would fit and give me enough room to get pumps in and out for maintenance 21WX17DX18H.

I decided to put the protein skimmer external so I could fit a larger skimmer (my skimmer is over 24 inches tall so wouldn't fit inside) and maximize the size of the sump.

Originally I was planning the RSM, sump and shallow refugium but found a used Nanocube 6 so decided to add on the speciman tank while I was doing all the plumbing. Easier to add it in now than to modify the system once it is up and running.

Beautiful. I've been thinking of modifying My Red Sea Max to make up for some of it's inadequacies, you've done a great looking job.

Here's a picture of the electrical powerbar and ATO system. I have the pumps and filters on separate switches so I can shut down portions of the system for maintenace while leaving other sections running


Here's my 10 gal quarantine tank with some stock waiting for the tanks to cycle before I add it
