Very nice display. You guys did a great job getting it scaped out. Fish selection makes the tank though. How did you pull off the moorish Idol?
Jim

Thanks! Yeah I am a fish guy for sure!

I got lucky with the idol mine eats like a pig!

He did however come down with a bacterial infection (it can be seen at the early stage in the video). I had to pull him and treat with ABX in QT. He has made a full recovery! Back to DT again!

Here is a link to my Idol Story!

https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/happy-ending-with-a-moorish-idol.410220/

I also need to update my thread with new pics. I have recently added a moyeri leopard wrasse and a cheker board wrasse!
Also added a clam, All properly Qt'd of Course! I have a new batch of fish in QT as well!

I have also purchased a GHL 4 pump doser that I need to install, and have a custom top being built for my tank! The top is being done by Atrfully Acrylic. I wanted to keep the rimless look, so I went with a clear mesh top.

awesome tank. Are you using the original ato tank on the sump if so what’s the easiest way to refill it? Mines a pain in the tail to fill I do it with a pump and a bucket

Thanks!!! :)

I have a water line plumbed to my tank from my basement where my RO is located. I agree filling ATO tank any other way is near impossible.

How do I attach the line to the ato tank?

Mine is attached to cabinet. Above the ATO. About 8" above the top of it so I don't get any reverse siphon going when I kill the pump.
