Doing some additional DIY project while the tank cycles. I confess it was a total pain to make this Hofer gurgle buster, but I can’t speak highly enough about it. It has completely silenced my overflow.

It's looking good! I'm just starting up my tank too! Hope to get water in it this weekend, MY sump and RO system should be arriving today! I got super excited reading your post when i saw you put in water and it looks great now! The backdrop kind of throws me off. i can't decide if i like it or not, but it's still a great looking tank!
I have the same sump and the same ATO (I get mine tomorrow) but I have a 20 ATO condainer. So we will see. From everything I read about the tunze. It's amazing.Haven’t updated in a while. I am now tired of refilling every day. So decided to get an ATO. Picture of the new toy. (Still need to organize the wires)
Now that I decided to add this, had to think about redundancy a bit. Here is my rationale. Basically, until now, if my overflow lost syphon, there isn’t enough water in the return chamber of my r-200 to overflow my DT, so I wasn’t too worried about my choice of overflow since I couldn’t get the tank drilled. However, with the ATO installed, the return chamber could keep getting more and more water to overflow my DT. (I put a 5g ATO container). So Thats why in the end I decided to chose the tunze osmolator, because of the time failsafe. I turned the flow to the lowest, and it won’t get enough water into my return chamber before the 10 minutes shuts it off.
Tested it by breaking the siphon on purpose. Works. Feeling safe again. (Hopefully didn’t miss anything on my rationale)

that’s great! let’s compare notes in a couple months again! So far I Love the sump. some people have complained about having the chamber in the back and not being able to see the water level. but i attached a mirror with a flexible arm and i can see it pretty easily
Thanks! I'll read up on them. Glad to know harmless because they are literally everywhere. Covering all rocks, back glass too. It's interesting though that there are none on my front glass.They’re spiorbid worms. Harmless little creatures. Just your biodiversity establishing itself
