looks good!!!

The coral in question is an "Spiny Pectinia" lps. They go for about $200 depending on size and colors.

He’s about 3inches across I saw him today at the lfs I’ve never seen this coral before and asked the kid working there he didn’t know. They where supper busy and my wife wanted it so we asked the price and he said ahhhhhhh 30 I was like sold lol [emoji23]
I feel bad now should I take it back
Poor kid is probably going to loose his job

Hey quick question did you use the built in ATO or did you add one
I’m really not trusting about the float valve thing
I had a smart ATO in my old tank and I was thinking of adding that or buying the TUNZE ATO
I’m using the built in one for now to I get around to it
What are your thoughts or experience with the float valve ?
Does it work ?
Should I use it ?
Or go with the TUNZE ATO ?
I’ve only have about a gallon of water in my ATO just Incase lol

I have been using the build in ATO for 2 years. I have just restarted. It has never failed - but I have been cleaning the float valve for salt residue when return pump has been turned off.
I like the simplicity in the build in ATO, and I can defiantly use the space that a ATO container would take.
I'm finally replacing my C-Skim with a NYOS-160
