+1 on the JBJ ATO; I used this for awhile without failure. For the top off reservoir you can use anything including empty milk jugs, vases, big water bottles, etc.
My first saltwater tank build...65 gallon with sump

Nice scape! Looks like a volcano and I like the hole in the front too.
Hope you have the base rock on the glass or sitting on eggcrate. It's hard to tell in the pictures if the rocks buried. How many lbs of sand did it take to make that bed? I've got the same size tank and about to buy the sand. Thinking 160-200 pounds are needed.
Keep up the great work.

The base is sitting on the glass! It's a 65 gallon tank with 40 lbs of sand and 65 lbs of rock!

Right now the tank build isn't going so well, I have a tank full of Dino and have tried everything to get rid of it. I am fixing to tear it completely down and start over. #reef2reef, #worldwidecorals, #mywwccontest

Ok so the build didn't go exactly as planned so we have taken the tank down and started over. Dino took over so we took the rock out and started with new. New water, cleaned sump and just started the cycle. Wish me luck.
