Thank you very much, have put a lot of time into it. One recommendation make sure you get an ato, the 20 gal cube is almost impossible to keep salinity right without one.

I am getting ready to purchase a Waterbox 20 as well with the oak stand. Did you buy yours with the stand? If so, what do you think about it. Also, any tip on a good ATO set up?

Yes, I purchased with the oak stand. I can say quality of the stand is second to non. It has a sleek look and the push to open is a very nice touch, very happy with it. It does take an hour or two to assemble but directions are clear, basically like putting together ikea furniture. As for the ATO I am running a XP Aqua Duetto ATO. I would highly recommend this one because I have never had a problem with it. I have the sensor placed in the return pump area, and a 1 gallon bucket sitting in the stand with the ATO pump. Hope that helped if you want me to send a picture of how it is all set up I can just let me know.

What level do you run your prime? What type nem is that?
This is what I am currently running my prime at, not sure how to share it better than this. It has worked for me very well and have stuck to it for two years. As for the nem it is a normal bubble tip.
