The WB's 70g Custom Acrylic Supersized AIO

I’m officially out of room on the controller board under the tank for anything big. I needed to figure out a solution for the Hydros Minnow so I ordered up 3 pieces of 1/2 black pvc foam board and made this little three sided enclosure.

The plan will be to put the two dosing containers back there and then it’s just a short run over to the tank.

I’m undecided about leaving it on top of the shelving unit or putting it inside the top cubby which was my original intent.

If I leave it up top it will be easier to access just by giving it a spin but it won’t look very good. I’m sure it will end up inside that top cubby.

I think it looks good up there. Makes your tank look like an ICU for critters.

Got this up and running with the optical water level sensor in my ato top off container. Anxiously awaiting the first alarm once that sensor goes dry.

I also tested NO3 and PO4 today for the first time in forever. NO3 was 6 and PO4 was 0.12
Some little tufts of gha are popping up so reducing PO4 is something to work on. Added a few drops of Phosphat-e near the skimmer. I’m going to try and test every day this week and see what kind of trend develops.

I noticed some green coralline has popped up on my side panel nearest the window. It scraped off easily during my water change. Was a little surprised to see some since my lights are on a very low setting, topping out at 17% and hanging 17.5 inches above the waterline. Too bad it’s not pink or purple and on my rocks.
