I've seen the sicce as well. Might look into it. If you could find a way to keep it off tank bottom you'd be ok but eith the cups on it doesn't work at optimal level. Eggcrate would probably work.

I wanted to tell you I ended up gking back to the stock pump. The mj900 was too tight and I ended up not liking it. If I could find a slightly smaller version I would get it though.

There should be 3 shelves? The middle one comes out I thought. I haven't got too much in back chambers outside the middle one. I might still plug it but I doubt it now. Intank said have floss on top so that's why I was thinking that.

Beautiful tank. Love me some acans. I like the pump so far. It has a little bit of a hum to it but it became background noise fairly quickly. It was a bit of a tight fight so if there is a smaller one that might be better. I didn't use the mount at all or it wouldn't of fit and used the smaller guard as well. It's in the den so I'm usually playing ps4 when in there so I don't hear it. I was thinking off adding a Koralia nano 240gph powerhead but from what I read the mj might be enough.Yes, I am running filter floss > purigen > chemipure in the basket in chamber 1 and just set up a chaeto fuge in chamber 2. I've been meaning to update this thread with a post about the chaeto fuge so thanks for giving me the nudge! How is the upgraded return pump working? Is it quiet? I've been thinking about upgrading the return pump and eliminating a power head in the display and for added flow through the AIO chambers for the chaeto.
Anyways, the tank is a little over 5-months old now. I recently set-up a chaeto fuge in chamber 2 using an LED plant light recommended by @Nart and some sticky back velcro tape. Just added the chaeto on Wednesday and I am using a media bag at the moment to contain it, but we will see how that goes. If it's not getting enough light or flow I will probably repurpose the DIY eggcrate media basket I made when I first set up the tank. Here's a shot of the set-up.
And an updated (crooked) FTS for 5-months!
And some close ups of some new additions.....

Poci and a piece of Acro picked up at FragFest that have some color coming back finally
I was thinking in the far right chamber(1?) Purigen,chemipure then filter floss with intank rack and then in middle chamber having the refugium in bottom two parts of intank rack. Not sure if I'd put anything in top spot on middle rack.
Did you plug that hole in the center chamber? Was wondering how much it actually helped flow and if worth the risk of stopping that failsafe?

Great looking tank. I just set up one of these myself so definitely following along. I upgrades my pump to a mj 900 and it seems to be working well but it's only been a couple days. I have the intake for chamber one and the 2nd on its way. I noticed you run purigen and chemipure, do you ever run filter floss? I'm thinking of doing s refugium in second chamber but worried it might restrict the flow. Did you patch the hole in the middle chamber? I thought about it but figured it's there as a fail safe

I see what you mean about the bottom rack not really counting. I ended up with floss on top then tied purigen to top shelf then tied chemipure to second shelf so hanging into 3rd chamber. Working so far
