Help with Red Sea Nano max

[TomD]

Few opinions needed:

Water, sand, and cycled LR put in last night. Got a wavermaker today. My only complaint with Red Sea is fish jump. My last one I made the screen top. This tank is in the business office and needs to look as classy as possible.

1Anybody know of any pre-assembled mesh tops for this tank? Also my office gets hot there is already a lot of equipment including an ApC backup so dont want a chiller maybe some clean looking PC fans they will be hidden anyway.

2. I want a better skimmer bits it's tight. I was looking at that white ghost one. Any recomendations? A store advised an HOB. Never no way especially in the office!

Thanks in advance

Here’s some Red Sea screens https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/aquariums/red-sea/parts-lids-accessories/
I’ve only used one hob and that was a remora pro. Never had issues with it but never trusted it 100%

Is this the new 170? Are you using the rear sump and stock skimmer or do you have the sump underneath?

I haven't started using the skimmer yet because I'm going to use the one underneath the auto top off is a very simple setup I actually like it because there's nothing mechanical about it to fail it just a ball valve however, if I don't loosen the ball valve no water comes out so I loosened it one full turn and that seems to give it enough drips but just not enough if I do another turn it seems to give it too much so I'm not sure if I'm missing a piece that's supposed to go on there or something but something isn't right
