Tell your boss you need to go home to take care of your "cichlids." It sounds an awful lot like "sick kids."

Update:
Added a fan to the side of the tank stand to make sure moisture doesn't build up inside the stand. Simple computer fan.
Put a fan cover on the outside to make it look clean.
Also got the skimmer running and micron sock on the return breaks up the micro bubbles like a charm.
Need my ATO and will fill my reservoir tub tomorrow.Comment

That's what she said.
Anyways I am officially done withe the set-up. Got the ATO plugged in and the reservoir filled. Now the wait begins with the cycle.Comment

lets see some pics!
oh yea... i wouldn't fill up the ATO reservoir all the way up yet. Just in case the ATO acts screwy, and you gotta work out the kinks. Unless your sump can handle 30 extra gallons.
also what did you think of the ATO? Since you're the first to set it up.Comment

Seems to work good. Like we talked about the positives are that it doesn't use float switches which can jam up. The negatives are that it doesn't have a sensor for the reservoir so if you don't check on it it could run the pump dry.Comment
