I wasn't quite satisfied with my 24 gallon AIO tank so decided to upgrade things a bit. New tank is 29 gallon Aqueon that I drilled myself, 2 1" bulk heads. "Sump" is a Home Depot heavy duty work bucket (basically a tiny version of the HDX totes they sell). I used a magnetic frag rack to mount the pump, and it conveniently also holds the ATO sensor. I used window/glass door tint on the back (too cold to spray pain in my area ATM), and a black foam kitchen mat under the tank (mostly to make the bottom look black). At first both the return and L bulkhead were leaking, I switched out the return hose and used the old monkey wrench on the bulk head. . . seems to be working (fingers crossed). Same scape as the previous tank plus a new branch rock I made. Only inhabitants are CUC and a coral banded shrimp. . . not sure what fish I will put in.
