This is my latest creation. I'm very happy the way it's coming along. Maybe 50% of my livestock was pre-established for years (most live rocks w/attached coral) which really created hardly no cycle when I started This new adventure with my:

Jbj 45RL rimless

Decided to bring back to life an old piece of furniture I had outside for almost a year. Sanded down and painted orange [emoji51] but the misses approved :) & now currently the new stand

For filtration:
I keep everything simple
Tunze 9004
Basket: sponge, chemipure blue, purigen
150w finnex heater w/controller
Stock dual return pumps (might upgrade & convrt to a single return)
Jebao RW8
Older AI VEGA COLOR (possible upgrading to 2 hydra 26 or the Radion xr15pros)
W/wireless controller

I need to purchase an ato
Might go with the Tunze or smart ato

Well now let's see some pics right :)
Comments are more than welcomed

Go with a Tunze ATO. I just read on another forum of smart ato where the magnet expanded and corroded in the water, might not happen to you but I've never heard of it with the tunze, another really good ato is the avast one. Oh and, that is a killer setup, the scape is off the charts awesome!

Yeah most likely I'll go with the Tunze
Do you guys recommend the nano version or the regular?

Very nice setup, looks great ! I love cubes!

How about some equipment pics, I'm curious how you have the dual returns setup.

If you don't mind spending the money go with the larger one, just know that when you turn it back on after being off it runs the pump for a few seconds. Other than that I love mine.
