Thanks 🙏 im not happy with it, I accidentally overflowed the seam on the lid and made a slight mess on top. Can’t see it unless you run your hand across it..also I should’ve got something etched on the sides. It would’ve “glowed” or had more fluorescence kick to it. I can always make another 😂 1 Quote Link to comment

But that would be very tedious, and consume a lot of my time 😩 1 Quote Link to comment

This guy is extra salty Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 Ok now no more joking 🙃 i want to thank my friends at www.corallivore.com for sponsoring my build. They really came through with flying colors (picture heavy) got the ato lid made nice logo right? 😂 So onto the good stuff! my sponsor hooked me up with an ATO! will be great not having bubbles in the tank when I get home from work. tiny pumps! Siphon break! I got this puppy setup I think I’m going to do daily WC and have it pull “fresh” water from the 160. 🤤way awesome. Ole lady was like you better not have bought that!(as she is vigorously scrolling through bank statements) Also I was given some brightwell bio cubes that I had in my sump since the beginning discussion of the contest. Which helped the cycle tremendously. It was literally like a day or so a “mini cycle” All of the rock and sand that is in the tank has been sitting in my sump of the 200g for about a year after my exwife accident the aquascape i used my diamond band saw to cut the rocks into small slabs very much like how TLF Stax. here is a FTS (4/27/19) First intentional inhabitant: tiger pistol shrimp: “Pew pew” he decided to take residence in the front left corner.. I was so happy 😃 Second inhabitant (unintentional) must be a Bristle worm or I think pew pew is happy to see me. 🤣 Third inhabitant (unintentional) majano anemones Pew pew steals frag plugs for his back corner summer home ok now onto the good stuff what everyone wants to see....CORAL! These were all given to me as a test to see which grows the fastest coral list: orange Florida Yuma eagle eye zoanthid white zombie zoanthid Rasta zoanthid kedds red zoanthid bam bam zoanthid armor of god zoanthid nuclear green zoanthid green palythoa grandis mystic sunset monti teal discosoma blue discosoma blue spot discosoma red discosoma rainbow ricordia reverse rainbow ricordia green nepthea finger leather crown leather cespitularia pulsing xenia Green star polyp Greenflame tip clove polyp 3 6 Quote Link to comment

748S911 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 How many water changes can u do with that awc? Like 3 or more times a week? 1 Quote Link to comment

I can have it setup to do daily WC if I wanted. I would have to put the HOB on a timer so it wouldn’t run dry during that time. The waste and fresh lines would pull and release into the 160 sump. 🤔 i May set that up in the next couple weeks. 7 hours ago, seabass said: Whoaaa. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
