I see you have the ATO in that cabinet, are you using the Waterbox sump? and if so what are you using the ATO reservoir for? I've considered converting into a Fuge and then putting the ATO in the cabinet as well.

I went with a GEO sump (large refugium), but I had to do all new plumbing and I’m not really thrilled with it right now. The WB sump is sitting in the garage collecting dust.

Ahhh ok, I can see where the plumbing could be an issue by flipping the return to the left side, but it looks like a solid setup. I’m looking at placing an acrylic baffle in the main chamber or using the ato reservoir for the fuge right now. I’m leaning towards the baffle currently.
Actually it might be a $400 increase on the black because, if I remember correctly I paid an extra $100 for my white stand and both black and white now seem to be the same price. I have an IM 40 NUVO and I love it. Innovative Marine makes amazing tanks.
I like the fact that you can take off the black vinyl with the WB. Clear back looks really nice. IM tanks are pretty solid though, super quality stands too. Cany beleive my luck on this price increase...
Ha, that's always the case with this hobby!!
When I ordered last weekend both stands were the same price.
I saw RS had different prices and was surprised that WB was the same.

Not too much new, but just started to get a slight bacterial bloom which is expected. I’ll let it run it’s course and maybe get a UV if it’s not going anyway soon.
I did design and print what I’m calling a “Nero 5 Augment”. I used to work for an orthopedic implant company that designed and sold a glenoid augment in numerous degrees for use in total shoulder arthroplasty. The implant would be used to correct abnormal wear on the glenoid and bring it back to a more neutral position. The Nero 5 can only be directed to a certain degree, but what if I wanted to point it up more towards the surface? There’s really not much you can do. So I created a 10 degree base plate that the inside magnet sits in and allows the Nero to have a greater degree of motion. It’s a really simple idea and piece that solves some of the positional issues I see with the powerhead.
