Wow looking wonderful. I was wondering too, is the faucet just decorative? Or functional?

Get some clear coat over that brass! Just in case condensation or drips come in contact with it, you don't want to carry any of the nastiness to the tank...

Love the build, especially the spigot ATO aesthetic.

 

Did you make the skimmer box yourself? I used a similar setup on my old 20g Nano and I'm kind of missing it ever since I "upgraded" to a JBJ internal filter. Cleaner look, way less effective 🙄
