Got some live rock from a fellow canreef member and after an acid bath/bleach treatment, it's in the tank. Still gonna need a lot more rock.

Also, IM HydroFill ATO system installed. Very nice looking controller and pump. The reservoir is only 5 gallons but it is nice. I may eventually keep the reservoir beside the tank on the outside if I run out of room in the stand. Luckily its pretty slick looking so it wouldn't be an eye sore.

The ATO itself works great. The high/low sensors are a bit pointless in my opinion. Keeping the salinity as stable as possible is the point of the ATO in the first place not sure why you would want to leave such a gap in the sensors to allow any excess evaporation. I pretty much have the sensors aligned. The pump itself is very similar to the aqua-lifter. Built in check valve to prevent back siphoning. (Will post pics of the actual controller, pump, and reservoir)
