Weekend update: Got the tank glued and plumbed into place. I'm going to let it sit for a few dats as my rock order hasn't arrived yet.

If that's what it is, I have personally used Reef Flux Fluconazole Treatment with success. What i will say is that you may need to treat the tank k for cyano afterwards.

To me, that looks like dinos, and I say that cuz of the bubbles in that algae

Are you running a skimmer? If so, turn it off for a day or so and see.

Looks very purple

I'm liking the Red Sea ato, and I figured i go that route to keep all under the app. My lfs carries them so I can get it anytime.

:worthless

The main issue I have found with them came with servicing the units. For example, there have been several times when I found my myself "arms deep" in my old Red Sea AIO just to swap out a bag of carbon. But that was minor and, in the end, it still gave me that cleaner look that I was looking for...

There's a convivence factor when it comes to an AIO unit. They're literally a plug n play option but that also leaves you with a limited space option should you feel the need to add some extras on (reactors, filters etc.). You may also have to deal with "things sticking out" of the tank which...

I found one at saltwateraquarium.com which should fit and run perfectly in the center chamber 500 DC Reef Skim 2.0 Protein Skimmer - TMC

Also, the SCA 302 protein skimmer is too big for this sump so I'll need to pick up another one. The way the sump was built, the skimmer can only fit in the front right chamber. Which would force me to relocate the return pump and Reefmat

I've never hard plumbed a tank before, so what do you guys think? As far as the strap for the pipes, I was thinking about using some pvc strap. Unless anyone knows a better way

I also hooked up 2x VCA nozzles to my loc line

Weekend update, Finally got the tank mounted, sump placed and plumbing dry fit. I'm running a Herbie style Overflow From left to right: Overflow/Main drain, Return line, Emergency drain line. With the weight of the schedule 80's, I'm going to need to strap them in some way to take some...

More goodies came in, my reefmat and reef run controller. Hopefully I can get to the plumbing this weekend

Update: I ordered a self leveling mat that just came in, so after the install, I'll be ready to mount and hard plumb the tank.

Another small update, my plumbing supplies came in along with my return pump. BRS had the RS Run on an "open box" sale so I pulled the trigger on it. I'll be picking up the controller in the near future. Whats in the box: All schedule 80 pvc fittings (gate valve, ball valve, 45's, 90's...

Drill a hole in the underside?

Just a small update, I ordered my plumbing for this tank and so far only 1 item has arrived. To give myself some redundancy (and peace of mind) I ordered two 1/2in Loc Line, in-line check valves. My plan is to have them installed on split return lines. Not sure how they will work, but we'll see.

Fast forwarded to today, I just finished my second coat of the black paint. Now im just waiting for it to dry.
