HarryPotter Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Doesn't look like the original 36g AIO is going back up. I'll probably sell it, or use it as a QT tank haha. Current holding tank: 2015-07-04 15.37.25 by JB Uy, on Flickr Hey really like this tank! Dimensions are pretty cool. Some recent tanks with the "modern shallow" look are missing out on the vertical aspect of reefs Link to comment
jabeuy Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 Hey really like this tank! Dimensions are pretty cool. Some recent tanks with the "modern shallow" look are missing out on the vertical aspect of reefs Thanks! Yup, I agree, I can't pinpoint it but there's something about the taller tank that I like. The original was 13", this one is 18", but the difference is huge to me. Link to comment

jabeuy Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 The original AIO just got recommissioned! The temporary tank was sitting in the spot my new tank will be going in, so I had to shift it over a bit, back into the AIO. I needed to figure out how much extra water I'd need to make to fill up the AIO, so took the chance to measure the chambers and display, then calculate total gallons. Only 26g, barebottom. Back when I had sand, must've been much less. No wonder the tank had so many algae issues with 4 fish in it. Link to comment
