Good ideas, yea we noticed the ato container will be a bit high but I think we can make it work, also I'm going to add 2 45' for he return plumbing and maybe another pipe down to prevent the splashes

Just a thought for you before you get too much farther along ...

I originally had my fuge after my socks, but noticed my pod population dwindling, so I now run it before my socks and all is good

With that in mind, I was thinking you might want to cut in a valve off your main drain to feed the fuge
Then you have both options

Trying to plan the mounting of the lights got a few options
Off the wall or build a frame coming from behind the tank what you guys think?
I have 3 of the 6"x20" heatsinks

Any picture would be awesome too

My last build had the lights off the wall worked good but wanted to keep my options open and make it look good

Yea I was originally going to do this but then decided to feed it off the return so I got less detritus in the fuge I'll see how it plays out I can always change it around after and take other return and flow it into there right from the overflow
