Well was doing research to make sure i get it done right finally went after the ato box and will be posting pictures. Its hard with my work schedule to get things going i work 6pm to 6am so graveyards suck to get anything done.

Got the ato prepped ready and done have some things i will need to touch up and clean up but all in all happy with the turn out. A few pictures of prep and finish hard to take pictures with silicone all over you hands lol. Next will be the big tank probably tomorrow. Learned some things to do different and might end up redoing this later but for now it was a good test to see what im going to need to do for the big build.

Total of 40 gallon ato have to drill the top piece and also plumb it through the topper. It will enclose the whole system and help with kids putting anything in there. Getting more and more excited ocd kicked in though i am probably going to trim the silicone from the interior and redo it just not happy with the interior seal could be done better the tape placement was a little off so it pulled at the silicone when removing all these things will be done different on the big build. Will do a dry set mock up again with the bigger tank and then tape off the interior so it is spaced correctly for the interior seal. Still pretty excited about it non the less

40g dang that’s bigger then the pictures made it look (wish Amazon could pull that off)
Make sure you don’t seal it up too tight. I popped my first ato before realizing the air inside needs a place to escape when the water starts filling it up.

It will have a drill hole in the middle for the bulk head and runner to the sump then one hole front side that will have a threaded seal to fill up the ato as well as 2 breather holes for for air escape. Gonna make it kid proof and accident proof pretty much so that way nothing can contaminate the rodi. And yes i agree wish amazon could make things appear smaller in pictures you buy something thinking your getting a deal and then boom it comes in all mini lol.

Kind of reminds me of a 40g cube tank bro i think i did it right. Go big or go home right lol.

Nice dude your rockin n rollin

The shop got any Crl drill press?

 

[Lost in the Sauce]

That thing looks great. If the structure is solid, I probably wouldn't be cutting it away from the inside and resealing. Save that for the sump.

I also did this with clear silicone since it was my first attempt and tester so to speak. The seals on the other will be done with black which is unforgiving when using so tried my shot with clear.
