Little over a month in parameters below. Salinity bit high from an off refractometer, if any suggestions on lowering it. Was thinking of just removing few cups of water each day and letting ATO bring it down.

Date	Temp	Salinity	Calcium	Alk	Phosphate	Nitrate	PH
9/2/2020	77	1.029	466	8.1	0.14	2.5	8.15-8.30

I’ve done this with no issue, worked pretty well for me. ATO balanced it out in a few days.

PS- nice build!!!

It doesn’t look like you could fit a waste container in there but I currently use a Davey Jones Skimmate Locker for my Skimmer and I stuck the Trident waste line onto it as well. It is so nice not having to grab the little cup to clean out all the time.

I picked a couple of the food containers (think Large Pasta holder) from Target. Drilled a few small holes in the top, and ran the waste line through. It holds about 2000 ml
