Legendary Corals Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Things are looking great! Glad everything came in well. The Sunny D looks a little funky though, is that really it? Link to comment

Glad everything came in well. The Sunny D looks a little funky though, is that really it?I would assume so. It was labeled "sunny d" lol Link to comment
ml86743 Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 New pickup! Nice blue ric. Had to pick it up. Also, just ordered the Reef Octopus BH 90. Tired of looking at the damn skimmer on the side of the tank..Also ordered another Tunze nano ato for an IM 10 gallon Im starting up!. Link to comment
CSAXE Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Love it. I've got the same tank , pretty similar setup too. I run the tunze 9004 in one of the back chambers instead of a media basket, if you're looking for a skimmer that won't be visible! Link to comment

As far as the skimmer goes..Im a huge fan of RO and their products and the classic 100 I have now does a great job...Just wont fit in the back chambers and it takes up a bunch of room in the display. I had a good night at the restaurant last night so I splurged and picked up the BH model which has an external pump. Problem solved. I appreciate the input, how does that Tunze work for you though? Ive heard mixed reviews. Link to comment
Legendary Corals Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 We're a huge fan of RO as well. Used one on one of our frag tank set ups and we ordered another one for our second one. I use an eshopps HOB for my personal display and I love it too. Made skimmate on day 1! Link to comment

Ive heard mixed reviews. As for the skimmer, I'd like to say it's doing any amazing job, based on what I see it pulling out, but it is my first skimmer so I really have nothing to compare it to. Here's some pics! I've got chemipure elite, purigen, and filterfloss in one chamber and the skimmer in the other. Other than that, I've just got the MP10 and the Hydra 26 for lighting! Can't seem to get the colours quite right though in the photos Link to comment

Your setup is pretty much the same as mine..I run the same stuff...the only difference is the skimmer and light. IM makes awesome tanks though. Build quality for an AIO is immaculate. I ordered the Fusion 10 last week and I cant wait to start her up. I like youtscape so much I may use a scaled down version in the 10! Link to comment
CSAXE Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Thank you! I'm a big fan of the minimalist look, only trouble is finding space for more corals. I'll be following along your builds! Do you have a stock list for your fish planned out for the 40? Link to comment

Do you have a stock list for your fish planned out for the 40? I was winging that, but I think Ive reached my fish limit. I have a pair of clowns(Wyoming White nd Reg Ocellarius), a Mandarin, Benggai Cardinal, and Yellow Watchman Goby paired with a pistol. UPDATE: Its been awhile since I have been able to post...Been working a ton. The new skimmer came in and fits right on the back! No more ugly hang on side version...Ive added a couple things but I think Im almost at the point where im just gonna sit back and let the tank do its thing! Running out of room...GROW OUT TIME BABY. Montipora Setosa.(My new FAV) Quick Cell FTS In other news I was accepted at Jacksonville U and University Of Northern Florida! Outta Jr college and down south ! Link to comment
WhiteWulfe Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Your tank makes the Fusion 40 look even more tempting to go with! Link to comment

ml86743 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Beautiful tank! How about a shot of how you have your compartments configured. Here's a quick shot! Sorry I cant go too in depth but I have work soon..Its a little crowded. I had to remove the media basket to fit the inlet/outlet pipes on the skimmer but that really wasn't a big deal to me. Center chamber is where the float switch sits...far right is the stock media basket and heater. Tanks looking really good! Thanks a lot! Its getting there...Really excited for the grow out. Looking really good! I love your progress and all those nice additions. Dave at Vivid Aquariums is an awesome guy! I used to live just like 10 miles from his LFS and I loved that place! Thank you very much! Vivid Aquariums is one of my favorite places to order stuff from. Im extremely jealous that you got to actually see his store...I would love to check that out in person! Here's a few photos! New ORA Acro:) Can never get a great picture of this monti...But you can kinda see the growth onto the main rock! Started with a quarter of an inch frag! Here is one of the two anemone shrimp I picked up! The other has more intense blue coloration and decided to settle down in my elegance! Ill get a picture of him later. These guys are super cool too!

Thanks! That is actually a Red Goniopora. Very cool coral...Ive had some decent success with that guy too. I feed him 3-5 times a week with the "juice" from the the mixture I feed my fish! Some of the Goni's can be tricky but this guy has been smooth sailin'. I Link to comment
