Thanks for the compliments

I am trying to keep the coral stocking to minimum in this tank. Time to enjoy some fish

One thing I see that could be a problem;
Put some clamps on that return pump hose before you pump all that water onto the floor
Even just some cable ties/zap straps would be better than nothing

I would also put that hose in hot water and push it all the way in to fitting

I was welcomed by the wet side today morning when I noticed the carpet was a bit wet on the side of the tank. The airline tube from the ATO got loose from the duck tape and released water on the floor!!!!!!!! My mistake that I used ducktape instead of airline holder. Have turned off the ATO for now till I get a holder. Atleast not much damage has been done. Any idea how to dry the carpet? I used iron to heat up the spots (used to do that before too) and let time dry it up.
