you will love your ATS! I have the icecap pro medium on a 200 gallon FOWLR it's doing a great job.

Thank you! 😄

[@BrandonJay-i6h]

That is awesome! Very impressive!

[@AquariumSurge]

Thank you.

[@philipdavis4927]

How would you use a bandsaw to make those cuts?

[@AquariumSurge]

Not sure just feel with smaller cutts a wet saw maybe safer

[@nidhibagri4594]

Great work!

[@AquariumSurge]

Thanks!

What lights did you use?

[@AquariumSurge]

Can't remember exactly but they were pretty cheap. I think $45 for both delivered

Bro I did a triple take coz of the Mr. Beast thumbnail 😅 nice scrubber!

[@AquariumSurge]

LOL, I call my ATS a Beast so felt it made sense to put MR beast on the Thumbnail

[@oliverwinsome6059]

bro, why did you made some legs under the shelf... when you used 2 triangles as support underneath the shelf.. all the weught will be distrubited into the wall and you will never have the problem of kicking the legs.. and when you raise the pump to a certain height, you will have a safety trash hold..

[@AquariumSurge]

I have some metal L brackets I was thinking about using but this is the first time I am actually hanging something of importance to the concrete so just kept 2nd guessing myself. You are right the legs are easily kicked but I am thinking about just bulking it up and making shelfs for random aquarium stuff. Or eventually just do what you said bc I know its stupid. lol

👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thanks

👏👍

[@ShavinMcCrotch]

You know 🤔… in the right situation, you could run the pipes through a wall and mount a box outside. It’s out of sight, out of the way, no lights, timers, or wires/outlets. Just let the sun do the work. 😎

[@AquariumSurge]

Hahaha. I love that idea

[@madprunes]

GG on the click baiting, probably good content, but marked do not recommend regardless.

[@AquariumSurge]

No Problem...No hard feelings 😁

[@AquariumSurge]

I changed the thumbnail. Thanks
