Looks good! Are you going with a full blown reef or FOWLR? I couldn't remember but if you go reef I have some SPS you can DBTC style!

 

[Labsalesguy]

Thanks1 I am going FOWLR...but considering some easy to keep corals but i know little about them

 

[MuralReef]

Just let me know. I have some birds nest that grew in spite of all the stupid things I did that should have killed them.

So my last ATO was a float style...nothing wrong with it, but it did stick once, and level was about an inch higher than it should be in the sump. So I picked up a Hydor Smart Level and upgraded. Here is how I mounted it- going to 3 days holding well. I travel sometimes for work- so I need something dependable.

I have the same Hydor ATO. It has been rock solid for the month and a half that it has been in operation. I liked the sensor. Seems relatively fool proof. I used the same pump as well. Great choice!

 

[Labsalesguy]

thanks-I like the design. And here is a picture- building an Iwaki MD70RLT as a backup pump. I am placing the female fittings on so it will be a simple swap! Close the valves, change the pump, open valves, plug and play!

Here are some refugium shots from tonight: you can kinda see my yellow sponge in the back, and some cool feather dusters! Sometimes I just look at the fuge for a few minutes at all the cool life. Also the red macro is growing strong.
