Got some live rock from a fellow canreef member and after an acid bath/bleach treatment, it's in the tank. Still gonna need a lot more rock.

Also, IM HydroFill ATO system installed. Very nice looking controller and pump. The reservoir is only 5 gallons but it is nice. I may eventually keep the reservoir beside the tank on the outside if I run out of room in the stand. Luckily its pretty slick looking so it wouldn't be an eye sore.

The ATO itself works great. The high/low sensors are a bit pointless in my opinion. Keeping the salinity as stable as possible is the point of the ATO in the first place not sure why you would want to leave such a gap in the sensors to allow any excess evaporation. I pretty much have the sensors aligned. The pump itself is very similar to the aqua-lifter. Built in check valve to prevent back siphoning. (Will post pics of the actual controller, pump, and reservoir)

The tank has been running for a couple weeks now and I've decided to buy some vinyl and attempt to wrap my sump. It would've been a lot easier to do this before the install but will try to work around it.




I was lucky enough to find some dry rock from another fellow canreef member. Some nice pieces and just the right amount I was looking for to start building some rock structures.




I've always done my aquascape by stacking the rock "nicely", however this time I decided to try to make my own structures using Reef Crest Aqua Weld Pro.

The product was very easy to use. Very forgiving. Dried and harden quickly. And most importantly held together very well without any mess.








Rock structures in!

Once again a fellow canreef member came to the rescue and helped put together some panels for the stand on very short notice. Always such helpful individuals on this forum and hobby in general.

I decided to go with the Red Sea Reefer look.
