I FINALLY got time to setup the Small in one tank I won at Reef-a-palooza Orlando. This was made by PNW customs and its a kewl little tank.
I love this little tank. let me know what you think of my setup.

I forgot to take pix of the tank before I filled it. But I used water from my tank and new Caribsea live sand and rocks.

An Algae barn pods jar is perfect for an AIO tank.

Looking good!

Do you think your ato is necessary? I grabbed one from the Aqua Exo and it is still sitting in the box. PNW guy said evaporation is basically zero on these and he does a 50 percent wc a week on his with two gobies in it.

for me it is. I go thru that jar about once a week. and I don't really have to do water changes as I dose all for reef, like I do for my main tank.
