After 5 years in the hobby I figured it was time to start a tank thread. Had a IM Nuvo 30g for a couple years (pic below) and decided to downgrade to the IM 10g fusion. I transferred most of my livestock but sold a few larger items. Just transferred this past weekend so lost some color. Looking forward to the progression of this tank!

 

 

New Tank:

Equipment:

Fusion 10g

Radion XR15W w/ RMS

Neptune Apex

Tunze Osmolator Nano ATO

Tunze Silencer Return Pump (1073.008)

75w Neotherm Heater

IM Caddy inTank Media Basket

IM Spinstream

 

Livestock:

True Percula Pair

Rose Bubble Tip Anemone (split after the move)

Snails

 

Aussie Blastomussa

Aussie Blue Acan

Assorted Ricordea Mushrooms

Lord of Rings Zoas

Raptor Rainbow Zoas

Petroglyph Zoas

Candy Apple Zoas

Pink Zipper Zoas

Welcome!

Looks really nice! Love the scape.

How are you liking the radion above the 10? Is it possible to post a picture of it?

Aren't you afraid that the bta is going to sting the zoas?

 

 

 

Going to follow this!

Thanks! Loving the radion. I ended up mounting it on the wall so I could fit the skimmer. I thought I shielded the bta pretty well from the rest of the corals. Wasn't expecting him to split and move up the rock. I can always move around some corals if need be. More posts to come

Oooh boy looks great together!

I like the fact you didn't mount it on the tank but on the wall. I am thinking of attaching some kind of plate to the back of the stand and mount the light on the plate and not the tank itself. So i have maximum room for my skimmer and other stuff .

 

Keep an eye on that bta .

 

Are you going to add any pumps for flow?

I'm really going for a minimalistic tank with this build with the least amount of work. So I am not adding extra flow or a skimmer for now. Just using a dsb, live rock, and chemi pure blue for filtration. If I start to see ill effects I will add more flow or the skimmer. My weekly routine includes a water change and changing a filter pad...thats it. Time will tell but so far all the corals and percula pair are doing great.

Great looking Tank. Looking at setting up the exact same tank and equipment. Could you please post a picture how you mounted the Radion? Looking at also installing the IM Ghost Skimmer. Will it not fit from your experience with the RMS Single Radion mount?

Yes the skimmer and mount will not fit together in the tank. I mounted it against the wall to give myself the option of the skimmer or something else in that middle chamber. Still no skimmer and no ill effects.
