Got the Aquatop Nano ATO set up last night. Worked great from the start, just worry about the pump burning out from cycling a lot ( just the nature of little surface area in the return chamber).

Yeah, small return chamber problem. It works great but I wonder how many cycles it will last for.So do you feel like the frequent cycling of the ATO is just an inherent problem of the small return chamber? Was debating on the Aquatop vs something like the JBJ dual sensor, but figure it wouldn't make much of a difference.
Why did you upgrade?@Johnd651 I have the same AutoAqua ATO it did great. Just upgraded to the Tunze Osmolator 3.

For a second I thought it broke out something. Lol
The 40 is 15.7". It would perfect.Imagine trying to fit the GHL on top of this tank

HelloReef 15 Review
Well this is the second build thread. My other thread is very slow going and I'll link them together in a minute.
Thanks to @TopShelfAquatics for the giveaway.
UPS showed up yesterday with the box but I didn't open it until this morning. Sadly the tank is broken. So I need to figure out next steps.
Plan was to make this an office tank.
Looks really good!!!Today's progress. Just need 2 30" pieces of corner trim, caulk, paint, and door in the future. @TopShelfAquatics
