Sweet setup man, congrats! Love that clown in the nem pic hehe

 

[bruce922]

The nem and the clown had to be taken to the local fish store, the nem out grew the tank and I didnt want to split them up. From what I hear an employee at the store kept them both, so I didn't feel as bad.

I'm looking for some ideas on a DIY ATO, can you send me some more details on how you designed yours?

Great looking tank, just picked up my Solana yesterday from Russ @ Saltwatercritters, excited to get it going.
