@ xmasia:

In terms of an ATO, I'm probably gonna put my own together with a large storage container and a pump hooked up to my controller with a float switch for monitoring. Water mixing is gonna be pretty simple: a couple Brute trashcans with powerheads in them, and a drain valve installed into each one.

I'm really considering adding a fuge down the line, adding it to the established system, but as of now it looks like I've got a couple months to think that through a little more.

My biggest question here is about the skimmer. I do realize that there are very good skimmers out there (BubbleKings, Deltecs, etc...) but is the octopus a good skimmer? I'm not sure as to how much headroom I should allow for.
