+Jimbo662 Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 More progress this weekend. Picked up the padding yesterday and got it under the stand. Glued the plumbing together, installed the 8020 light brackets and threw on the two XR15s temporarily. Still waiting for the shipment of Aquatic Life fixtures to get to BRS!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Jimbo662 Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 Got the new apex up and running today. This thing is soooo much easier than the older version. Had it up and running and the WAVs connected and programmed in less than 15 min! :-) Updating the firmware of the base unit along with the different modules is extremely easy.

Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Woohoo! Did you get the ball valve issue figured out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did speak too soon on the "no leaks". This morning found where there's a tiny trickle coming from between the back glass and outside overflow box. Some debate about gaskets. Ghost Overflows come with 4, 2 inside and 2 outside. Planet only provides 2...before I make any changes Jake is going to confirm with them where they should be placed. I'm now assuming outside between the glass and box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
