Ok that never crossed my mind. Maybe there shouldn't even be a thread.

Very nice. I would put a backup/redundant zip tie to secure the return lines just in case one zip tie goes or the trim breaks on that zip tie and sends the return line dropping into the tank. Certainly not a catastrophic failure but could send frags or corals flying if it ever happened. I'm not sure how strong that particular trim is but previous trim that I've had on tanks degraded severely overtime and became quite weak. Just something to think about (not hating btw!).

This trim is very thick actually. I probably should drill two more mounting holes but i'll opt for an i-told-you-so if that ever happens lol. that's not an excuse to push on'em when you come over lol.

What are you using to feed the Vertex Reactor? Just tee'd off from the return?

Everything looks good.

I had a very similar return manifold on my old cube and it was just secured in place by the plumbing (held in place by a union). There was maybe 1/2" of play at the end of the run but you really had to wiggle it for it to be noticeable.

Thing is, there are times when you may *want* a little wiggle room up there (reaching in with a razor blade to get at a spot of HA or coraline or something, for example). So honestly I'd just sort of leave it as-is.

Everything looking good. That sump is tight, haha!

(And not hating... Not sure why you'd think I was hating, geez.)
