Looks great so far. What powerhead did you go with?
No comment on the coralbox as Ive never seen one. The Hydor smart level/toms aqualifter combo has been flawless on my 10 gallon for about 3 years now
And keep an eye on the magnet cleaner, mine rusted out after about a year.

I have ordered a Smart ATO micro , it is smallest ATO in the market ,it has an optical sensor size of the 1 cent. that was the only one I can easily fit in the pump chamber ,and I am able to put the tank original lid on.

ATO and wave maker arrived and installed, the powerhead / wave maker is Jebao WP-10, comes with controller, it's kinda too powerful for this tank, but at minimum setting it seems I can keep it, the water got cloudy, but I hope it gets settle down

haha that's a ton of flow. I strictly used my return pump in my nano for flow and it did well
