Curious to see what you did with the AC70 to make it into a fuge. I am looking to add one to my rimless 30 AIO. Could you show a few top open pics?

Quick update -*

Tank is running fine.* Still ramping up the lights, but am getting some great colors out of the nems.* I did have a bout with bubble algae, but tossed a few emerald crabs in and manually removed most of it, so it's under control.* Currently working on a flatworm outbreak, but I added a yellow wrasse and he seems to be keeping them in check now.

The clowns got too big and aggressive for the tank.* They were laying eggs like clockwork and had to find a new home for them.****

I now have 22 nems in the 17 gal.* Thankfully, they all stay pretty small.* I keep having weird issues where one or two nems will lose all their tentacles and shrink, but once they do, they come right back and grow new tentacles.**

Otherwise, on auto pilot and doing well.

The two cats must love the new tv you've set-up for them!😻

any updates on this tank? Wondering how the custom overflow and ATO are working out.

I really like how this looks, I have my 15 on my kitchen counter with an AC70 on the back, might have to swap it to the side like that.
I am using the Oceanbox designs magnetic skimmer box, works well and a nice place for the ATO sensor as well, but not enough room for the heater like that.
