I'll need to try one of these...I go through the regular HD timers at the rate of 1 per year. So far, my digital timer is the only one still kicking after all these years :p

Great project so far...

Yep, fully agree. Top off is the way to go and does not need to be extravagant. I currently use a 15 gallon aquarium for the top off, and use my 32 gallon mixing can if I go on vacation.

The G3 is a sump skimmer, so I'm a little confused on how you plan on setting this up now (or are you stating you will have a sump at the time you get this)?

Since it is a fish only, I think you...

I'm using one in my 220...and feel it's a bit underpowered for the size I have (although it's a light bioload). For a fish only tank on 180, I think you'll be fine...how big is your sump?
