inTank Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 inTank was founded April 17th 2008 with the Red Sea Max 130 media basket. http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/154669-steviets-media-rack-for-the-rsm/?pid=1605489#entry1605489 5 years ago today I started staying after work to hand cut with simple wood tools acrylic media baskets for RSM130 owners. I had no idea what I was doing, the first 2 media baskets actually fell apart and needed to be rebuilt from scratch. Acrylic education was needed fast and also a method to mass produce the basket. After the basket came the standard upgraded cup. When email requests didn't stop I knew inTank was onto a market that was needing attention. Especially when the 5th overall sale was to France. I purchased a Biocube 29, then a BC14, then a BC8, then all the nano cubes, aquapods, Solana, Aquaclear, Red Sea Max 250, Innovative Marine Nuvos', JBJ RL 30&8...... And we never stop as the AIO market is exploding. Today we have over 40 part numbers under the inTank name and sell over 200 other products on our website. We have distribution in the United Kingdom, Netherlands and Australia. We have shipped to every major country on the planet and overall have shipped 16,000+ orders. This is a full time job now, well it was since late 2008 but I get to go home now and not work. And that's pretty cool. That took 4.5 years to get to. The company was moved 3 times. From a 10,000 sq ft shop (2008) to my parents garage&basement (2009) to my basement (2009) back to a real warehouse/office (2012). Gone are the 15 hour days and we are much more efficient because of it. We can ship an order same day, even orders taken during the weekend get out on Monday. inTank would not be here if it wasn't for the dozens that helped out along the way. Fellow forum members gave ideas, provided graphical work, provided was of mass production. Serious, if it wasn't for the online forum community there wouldn't have been an initial market, ideas or a company. You built this.

Killjoysgal Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I just wanted to thank you for having this sale. I have been trying to make due with a 6' PC fixture (on a 4' tank...) for the last two years; I haven't been able to change the bulbs because I couldn't find replacement bulbs. This sale managed to get new lights that don't need yearly changes, cuts my power consumption from almost 400w down to ~65w, and allows me to get some nicer corals going in my tank. So excited! Thanks again! Link to comment
