    When you find out sams sump is the same dimensions as your display...

    and then rationalize that his total water volume could be 4.5x that...

    Seriously awesome upgrade on this one! Can’t wait to see the crazy sticks it grows.

    Hands down one of the best atos that's a really good deal. I bought mine for 155 open box. 


    Took the words right out of my mouth!

    Bump for great equipment at a great price. GLWS

    I'll probably only stick a skimmer in there. I have a CaRX that will be on the outside of the sump and maybe a carbon/GFO reactor that I can stick in the sump or mount to the stand. It's not the space I'm worried about, but the flow rate through the sump and the volume of water it can absorb when power goes out.


    Running 10x turnover with a makeshift bean overflow with no issues. Depending on how your drains are setup though - The concern is real for a chance of spill over. I run my last return section at a Lower level specifically because of this(better a burnt out pump then salty floors for me by a long shot) The few extra gallons it dumps in before the syphon breaks have been a worry every time I’m gone for an extended period of time.

    My dimensions are 48x24x16 and with the trigger 30(30x12x15) I wish it was a little wider. You can definitely get by with a 20, no problem though. I copied Jolts approach with an ATS(Imitation is the best form of flattery Jim!) and it feels a little cramped with everything in there.

     

    Do you plan to put a lot of equipment on it or run a fugue? If so, It might be worth going with the 30 long. I would have gone with it from the get-go if I wasn’t trying cram the ATO setup under the stand too.

     

    If you don’t plan on putting a lot in it - the standard 20 is simple, and you could pull it out/move it around easily.

    The tank has gone for a wild ride with Alk swings lately. Low of 5 a few days ago and high of 10. Swing was due to the flow slowing down while I was out of town, now it's just a game of tuning it to the right range.

     
    Surprisingly nothing is dead and not a single burned tip. I assume because everything is pretty healthy the corals have been able to handle the rapid change. As proof, here are so coral pics I took tonight!
    Left to right: Hawkins exhinata, blue iris, DaM mille

     


    Had some alk issue while I was out of town the other week as well. It’s so frustrating when everything runs fine for months unattended..while you’re home. Glad to see everything made it through ok. Hopefully it evens out and the maroon lagoon keeps growing out gorgeous corals!

    Looking great John! Jim’s right, second to last one could win some POTMs!

     

     

    i been cpu mining eth for a little bit... just havnt justified getting risers and video cards to gpu mine.  i'll take my measly 0.00166477 ETH and go home now (cry)

     Rolling in the dollar(s)! I can’t justify it either. Game on a console and leave the computing to aws. Haven’t messed with ETH but I’ve heard of few easy labs for bitcoin.
