I'm currently using Aqua Forest Bio Sand ( 2 bags), Life Bio Media, and Dr. Tim One & Only bacteria to cycle.

Yes, those are older Kessils and I designed and 3D printed some covers for it.

This weekend I need to set up the Tunze 3155. Once completed I will update with pictures as well as update the current hardware list.

I have the ATO set up now and right on time as the water evaporation was pretty aggressive. I have also set up the light under the stand and connected it to my home automation system. The system is still cycling so nothing else to report.

The ATO setup looks very tidy. 

I need to work on the wiring. Currently working on a few ideas in Fusion 360 and if I like what I see then I will 3D print them in ABS.
