Yes but its just water to the chiller via a pump (Maxi Jet) and then from the chiller water goes back into the tank. All over the back type deal. Since it is an AIO and I don't want to start complicating things with a sump and everything.
The idea is that I am setting this tank up for the 6 months I am here until I move overseas and then my brother is going to rent the place for me and take care of the tank. I don't want him to have to deal with sumps and stuff.
This tank is going to be as maintenance free as possible. No sump, no skimmer (although it comes with one so may use it), chiller to keep temps in check, controller to deal with lights and whatnot, ATO with enough water to last 3 weeks until it needs to be filled again, 2 part dosing pumps. So just need to feed the 2 fish every few days really. Water changes once a week but I have a 30G garbage can behind the tank for fresh saltwater and I am going to work out an easy water change system using some maxijets. No buckets! All this stuff seems so much easier on a small scale. Jeez I was doing 30-40G water changes a week on my 200 and now that my total system volume.
I have some vacations planned this summer and don't want to stress about a tank! I am kind of tired of how much of my life aquariums have been taking up
