Nothing like modding out a tank! Your's look great! I remember when the JBJ nano first came out I modded the heck out of it. Your's looks superb! In the left chamber do you have the media basket?

What do you do for dosing?

I use the royal nature dry calk, alk and mag. Still dosing by hand, 12 hours apart.

Can we get a picture of your setup in the back please?

Sure, I'll try and get some with the cell phone. Top down are about all I can get. Tank pretty close to wall.

Not the greatest pictures but chamber 1 far right has my probes, in and out for the hob 1. Water then flow through the director, into media basket with all my filtration media, passes through the fuge (lighted) with ball of chaeto and finally into left chamber (#3) where the photo eye for the ATO is, the heater, and return pump are located. Not real complicated.
