Got my ATO hooked up!!! I also cut a hole through the middle wall to conceal all the wires. I'm gonna order some wire organizers on amazon for the back of the tank. I could careless what the inside of the cabinet looks like since it's covered by and door.
I had to take the media basket out to...
Is there anything else I can use in the house to start a cycle? I don't feel like going to the market for 1 table shrimp at the moment lol
In other news... the tank is clearing up... still slightly cloudy but you get the idea
Another side note... it's pointless to run my skimmer right now...
Went to the store earlier and bought a Hydor Evo nano powerhead and the Tunze 3155 ATO. The powerhead will probably be replaced with something else down the line but it's doing its job for now. Also the return pump is probably gonna be swapped out as well. Need more flow.
The Tunze will fit...
Hey guys.. does anyone own either the Tunze Nano ATO or the Tunze 3155?? I'm trying to decide which one to buy but I'm so indecisive. I hear the 3155 is way better but it's also $100 more than the nano. Any suggestions??

It's getting there guys!!!

Here's the power brick I mounted up on the wall and the hole that I had cut to run wires through.
Here's a little 2.5g top off tank that I got from my LFS.
Last but not least, I'm kinda stumped on what to do with the cord for whatever ATO pump I wind...
Well, I went out and bought that cubicle stand from ikea and man, I love this little thing. It looks so sleek to me. I winded up getting 2 doors for the top cubbies and like plastic weave pull out baskets for the bottom ones(to store testing equipment and whatever else). Obviously this stand was...
I may have found everything I was looking for, just waiting to hear back from someone. I'll let you know tho, thanks!

I went out to the store today to start picking up some tools I'll need to build my own stand since I haven't been able to find one I like. A few hours after I got home I saw someone's build thread on R2R with the same tank. I started to talk with him and asked about his stand bc he has it set up...
