    BIG thanks

    Had to say big thanks to this site, its members and xxl thanks to SantaMonica for inspiration and help. I was many years hesitating on seting up a marine tank at all. After I found this site, my doubts was gone. ATS idea seemed so natural and fluid to me , that after one more month I already have 16G tank siting on my table. Tank is custom made folowing my drawings and has scruber in back chamber. Also there is buble trap, heater and return pump. Thats all. Sometimes I put carbon , sometimes sponge if floating particles starts to bother my comfortable viewing. I still change water ocasionally with purpose to keep water chemistry on par. So very simple and easy to care system . As long as corals fell good, so do I.
    The only problem is - corals grow too fast, so I start to bother about tank size.

    This is how tank looked after 2 month after setup

    Now (5 month) it looks like this :

    This was my inspiration: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=639

    You can see scrubber light through owerflow comb in the upper right corner in my previous photo.
    I will try to make pictures ,but scruber is in back chamber, so only top view is possible. Anyway I 'll try.
    Acad drawings now insted.



    Dark grey part is PVC plastic cut by CNC (in reality its black - to stop algae - haha).
    You can recognize owerflow and scrubber screen below it. "Light box" is removed in drawing , othervice you will not see all beauties. Also you can see bubble trap and space for return pump an heater. I use bubble trap area for sponge placement whenever I feel need in that. Space under screen is used for carbon placement. So everything is very simple and compact - the way I always vanted it to be .
