Yeah my bad. $50 did seem really cheap which expalins why I pushed this idea. Still $180 controlled isn't too bad. Come on Wes, you big engineer, splurge a little

drip it in.
some people are afraid of the simple stuff, but I have kept nanos ( I have a 5 gallon running for 3 months now with a diy drip) successfully with this system and its not that hard to dial it in.

if you wanna spend 200 bucks, you will have something nice and easy, if you wanna save some $ and put in a very little legwork, try the drip.

it will cost you 10 bucks MAX to build, and that isn't much to take ac hance on something you might find works excellent.

will the glass top evap is hardly a concern and with a small desk fan behind it it stays cool so i think thats how I'll leave it for now. I don't think I'll even bother with an ATO even at the office I don't think enough will evap over the weekend.

How do people fell about the rock work it's a little tight to the glass in a few spots but I ordered a nimble nano magnet today

Nothing too special but it has only been up for a few weeks. The plate coral is not looking super hot but hopefully he'll get better.

Hoping to get some more corals this weekend.

Water changes are super easy. I just mix up 2 liters (20%) in a container put in in the microwave for 60 seconds and it is ready to be swapped in.

I'll post some pics of the chamber when I have a chance.

Current stock.

Candy Cane
Pavona < I think sp?
Orange Plate Coral
2 Bumblebee snails
2 Blue leg hermits
Yellow Clown Goby
Clown fish from Hawaii
