    Got a CPR HOB refugium

    However the CPR will be short lived, as a 10 gallon will become my new fuge so cardinal babies can be raised in it.

    Also I got a AutoTop Off system from aqua hub. I got the premium kit.
    Aquahub Homepage

    I put it together then took a further step and hiding all the wires in a box and reducing it to only one power cord. the box isn't pretty but is better then stock setup.

    That's the box next to the reservoir, I will be replacing the power head so I can place it lower to the ground(MJ400 only goes about 3 feet on 5/8" hose).

    The float switches(one for protection in case the main one fails) aren't pretty but are compact atleast.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Congrats on getting some growth on the Red Planet. Once you start to see new white tips that is a good sign IMO.

    The Cardinals are really cool.

    Thanks for the link on the ATO.
