    I liked his design a lot. Super clean. Too bad he's not on 3reef a lot any more :(

    And some power tools... :)

    One lesson I learned the hard way is to make sure to seal the gap between the outside of the glass and the plastic trim before you drill - either permanently with silicone or just with some tape. I had some water seep in there with glass dust and putty residue and it was a PITA to clean it out.

    I don't know if anyone has EVER hooked this much equipment up to a 65 gallon tank before!!! Auto feeding fridge, chiller, 6ft tall skimmer, 2 algae scrubbers, 5 gal/day auto w/c. LEDs, T5s, 4 MP10s, Apex... It's pretty excessive before even adding a single piece of livestock!

    And.... I'm really interested to see how your feeding system works out. You gonna use the BRS 1.1 ml/hr dosing pumps (or similar)? Any thoughts on what the duty cycle might end up looking like?

    I'm looking for a good 4 head doser. If I can't find one I will probably go with the bubble magnus. I'm modeling it after this build. I'm going to throw a cup of RO/DI in there with an apex temp sensor in it to make sure the foods are staying at the right temp. And I'll probably pick up some magnetic stirrers for any homemade foods.
