I got my 20 gallon ato container in place, originally I was going to keep it under the fuge stand, but to access the pump/tank itself was a pita.
I also started on my wiring center, since all my fish died I have only the return & heaters going at this time. Once I add back on my WP60 and other...
Andrew that is so true. my brothers dog had cancer, I paid for chemo and it didn't work, but I'll be damned if until the end he didnt wag his tail and love unconditionally. When they say a dog is a man's best friend they aren't kidding.

looks like im battling a case of marine velvet in my display as I lost pretty much all my fish.
Only remaining as of today are my yellow tang and melanrus wrasse.
I think my tank has velevet as I lost almost all my fish so far. Only ones left as of yesterday were my hippo & yellow tang. We'll see when I get home :(.

The ATB is rated for 250 gallon, realistically about 150 gallons heavy bioload.
I am actually looking at going with the Avast CS3 Cone Skimmer Kit with 2 x Sicce PSK-1000 in recirculating mode & using my return to feed it.
I will not buy any SWC products so thats out.
Mike from people on rc you're right. I don't think the ATB 840 V2 will be able to handle a 180 g tank, 40g fuge, 75g half filled sump w/ a good amount of fish.
People said to look for a 10" bodied skimmer, easier said than done.
Brand new washer too :P
I can't take credit for the plumbing/drilling of the tank, my friend Anthony did that. I was just the side kick and provided the food:).
Next weekend I plan on buying a piece of plywood and moving the apex outlets up then buying a wire channel to run them nicely...
So I am in the process of selling my ATB 840 V2 and am going to need to replace it as my system has grown.
System: 180g display, 75g sump (1/2 full), 40g fuge - will be heavily stocked.
I am currently looking at these 3 skimmers:
1. Aquamaxx ConeS CO3 - $409.99
2. SKIMZ SM 201 Monzter...
I had to recently replace the float on my jbj because the other one kept sticking, you might need to replace it.
I settled on a jebao DC12000 for return & still debating which skimmer :x
