What surface skimmer? The sensor on my XP aqua sumpless failed but XP replaced it because it was within a year. Definitely agree it doesn’t skim though, so considering some sort of a hang on back skimmer. Thanks and great thank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gurgling sound fixed - put a few pieces of sponge in the overflow box. Thanks, WAMAS! Cheers, Alex

After replacing the 1/2" double threaded bulkhead for the return, the tank is leak free and pumping saltwater. There's an audible gurgle in the drain line and there are air bubbles in the area of the sump in which the drain empties. I've toyed with a black tube (air vent, presumably) on the drain line, but that hasn't reduced the gurgling. Any ideas from the WAMAS team? Would like the tank to be as quiet as possible as it's in the kitchen. Thanks, Alex

Hello, This build thread involves three tanks, but it's a requirement of the previous owner of one of the tanks (soon to be nem tank). I'm a fairly new reefer; a friend gave me a 5 gallon AIO with two clownfish in August 2020 as a covid/quarantine project. I purchased the second tank, a 20 gallon AIO Red Sea Max Nano, from Facebook marketplace shortly after acquiring the 5 gallon tank. It's worth noting YHSublime has been a phenomenal mentor throughout the process. For a time, I had both tanks in the kitchen, but the foyer of my apartment is dimly lit and a bit dreary. As a matter of principle, there's a beer fridge. The idea to move the 5 gal tank to foyer immediately improved lighting; the evening blue hue of the AI Prime illuminates the beer fridge perfectly. The idea to move the 20 gallon to the foyer came about as a result of the new-to-me tank, formerly TPallas' 11.4 gal Mr Long. I know the rule is to avoid posting until the project is complete, though I'm one 3/4" bulkhead away from transferring rock and anemones into the 11.4 gal. The bulkhead cracked today during installation; pics below. I'll follow up in a week once I have it completely set up. Cheers and happy reefing, Alex Two tanks in the foyer: TPallas' 11.4 gal Mr Long: Pic of the bulkhead with a pesky drip: I hand-tightened it, but I'm strong as an ox: Once I replace the bulkhead, I plan to transfer a rock with anemone and two clowns to the 11.4 gal: I might try to take one of these anemones, as well: If anyone is interested, I sanded the varnished the tank stand with Epifanes varnish:

Tank looks amazing! Did you decide to stick with the XP Aqua sumpless ATO? In a previous post, you mentioned it wasn’t easily cleaned and re-assembled. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Alex Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
