The pump went out on my ATO. My fault entirely.

The nice thing about a well planned DIY project is, later on, maintenance is a snap. I made it to where the low voltage pump was hooked to the relay box via a plug instead of hard wired. So, all I had to do was swap the hose to the new pump, route the wire through the hole in the ATO container lid and plug it in. Then I flipped the switch on the control panel labelled ATO and all was right with the world.

Wishing the staff and owners of Main Street Aquarium the best of the Christmas season and a happy New Year!

Thanks brother!

Merry Christmas to your family from ours!

BTW, I need a weird sized, custom sump cut. We need to talk. :)

So I split the 16 foot setup into two 8 foot peninsulas. It worked out better with the floor plan.

No, This is all built by Ryan and I.

I am about the cut up the 265 and use the front glass on a plywood tank project in the near future. Quite possibly an 80"x48"x30" tall predator display but haven't decided yet.

You are excused.
