Perfect. Did you have to drill the bottom or did it come that way?

Integrated the reef angel water level sensor. This thing is great it tells at what level my sump is at all times, controls my ATO, and it also if the level goes above 110 % or below 50% it will shut off my return pump. Cost 69.00 plus 9.00 harbor freight pond pump. Low budget at it's finest.

Also been working on my quarantine/frag tank it's ready to go all I have to do is transfer the light from the ghetto tank and the few sps I have.

The ghetto tank lol

I dig this build man, nice work! Cool idea of an algae scrubber instead of a skimmer. I went the Fuge route since I thought an algae scrubber might just be one more thing to clean, but if it buys you not needing a skimmer, then maybe it is worth it! I look forward to seeing your progress.

Also, the one big table idea is awesome. Maybe a few other little things in there for fun but one big table would look killer.
