kimberbee Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I had to take the deal! Especially since I have it confirmed by BRS and a local IM reseller that they are dumping the 30L and the 30 and 40 Micro's. right, they are dumping IM Fusion 30 and 40?? Why??? And $299 for the IM 40 is a GREAT DEAL!!!!! WHAT NO!!! Seriously? That leaves no 40-50 gallon AIO option without rounded corners!! JBJ has a 45 gallon but it has rounded corners. Efffff!!

Steelen Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 wait, they are dumping IM Fusion 30 and 40?? Why??? And $299 for the IM 40 is a GREAT DEAL!!!!! I have no clue. Several stores told me this. So thats why I pulled the trigger. The 30 Micro wont go on a big sale at BRS. They have more 40Gs. So if you want I'd take that offer right now and just store till you are ready for it! Link to comment

ninjamyst Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 wait, i am confused now =P. Sounds like they are discontinuing the old Micro 30 and 38 cubes, but keeping the Fusion right? Such confusing names from IM... Micro 30 cube Mini 38 cube Fusion Micro 30L Fusion Mini 40 cube http://innovative-marine.com/nuvo-aquarium/index.html Link to comment
Steelen Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Ordered my Kessil A360we with goose and 90 degree. Saved close to 100 bucks on it all. Ordered through a local reef store. Gotta support them as well! Tank arrives tomorrow and then the light next week. The rest of the orders will go our tomorrow probably! After that My father-in-law will build a stand ADA style. Cannot wait to build this puppy. Link to comment
Steelen Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 The tank arrived. Its staying in the box for a while. Kind of made the mother-in-law mad lol. Oops. Huge box! Link to comment
kimberbee Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Sorry to keep bugging you... How was it delivered? I'm wondering if I can get it easily delivered to my apartment, or if I would have to pick up at a ups/fed ex facility Link to comment

I'm wondering if I can get it easily delivered to my apartment, or if I would have to pick up at a ups/fed ex facility The UPS guy brought it on a trolley to the front door. It was 94lbs. If you ask him nicely to help. It will fit through a front door. Inside the big box there are several foam layers. Perfect for the tank to be placed on after (1inch thick slabs 8 in total). Saves you money haha. Inside that big box is the tank box. With its own foam for protection. That box is smaller and easier to store. We will is it for table lol Link to comment
FishFrog Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Is she mad you haven't started putting fish and coral in yet? 'cause then I can relate No, really looking forward to seeing you build it up! Link to comment

Steelen Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Ordered brs reef safe rocks about 30lbs. Can always order more. On top of that i ordered a refrectometer, 150w heaters (one cobalt flat for in the tank and one normal cobalt for mixing), MP10ES W. Also got a cheap hydor for mixing saltwater. Im forgetting somethings I bet but for now this will have to do. A lot of things for cheapee than usual. So this will all be good. Got to buy wedding rings this week also so some of that money will go to that. Nothing fancy since my fiancee doesnt want fancy stuff. Link to comment
Steelen Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 My order just came in. Here is a shot of all three boxes as they arrived Here I openes them up. The bottom big one has 30lbs of rock in them. Box underneath the heater is a hydor powerhead for salt mixing. Thing was like 25 bucks so figured might as well use that. This is the Vortech MP10 in the box still. Cannot wait to start my build next year. Link to comment
Steelen Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Took my rock out of the box for a quick inspection. Right after it I stuffed everything in the tank to save space. Hope it will okay since nothing is beneath the tank. Link to comment
Steelen Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 So right now as I am gathering all my hardware I am looking into my fish options. Wyoming White Clown (2x) Goby w/ Shrimp pair (1x) Yellow Tail Damsel (2x or 3x) Flame Angel (1x) Is this recommended? Or would this be too much? According to AqAdvisor this is doable with 15% water changes weekly. Something I already planned on doing. Would like thoughts about this from the community! Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Should be no problem- damsels are the only thing I would question- I hear a lot of people say they can get bother sum and unruly after awhile. Every time I try to plan livestock it always changes - you never know what will catch you eye when you walk into the fish store? what are you planning for a light? Link to comment

My LFR should be calling me this week. Ill probably end up running it with the Spectral remote. Oh I feel you with all changes in livestock... I think I have some different ideas now also after talking with some people. We shall see what we end up with in 2015 Link to comment
Steelen Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 My Kessil got in yesterday here is the box. Cannot wait till I can start building this bad boy. But other things first! Like a job and an apartment. Link to comment
