Looking good!

For filter - I am not sure I see the point other than flow, or for filter media like carbon. I suppose you could stuff it with live rock rubble since you aren’t putting a lot of rock in the display.

I originally ran one on my 60 breeder but realized it’s not really doing much and eventually removed it. The surface skimming on the Tidal was a big draw for me but it doesn’t really work well.

I ended up running wavemakers for flow and an Eheim Skim350 for surface skimming. Works much better.

Might have to look into that!
I'm having some issues with keeping it clean... and finding a ATO that works with the rim while keeping the bubbles down from the filter.
I do have a small comline 9001, I wonder if I would be able to drop that in?
Also going to transfer some Asterinas from my DT into it....

Also, thank you! :)

I like those little combines. I think it would be a good option, even though it takes up a little tank space.

I couldn’t stand the noise or bubbles from the today’s tbh. They do sell little attachments for the outputs on Etsy which help with the bubbles. I’ve used them before in fw tanks.
