Won't get a chance to pop it open until tomorrow though. Should be okay. It's a box in a box wrapped in foam and peanuts. Where did you order it from? Getting closer.......... Link to comment
Tmr8188 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Didn't get a chance to look at the tank yet. But unpacking the stand I have a pretty beat up back piece. Marine Depot will be getting a call when they open. Link to comment
Sunar357 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 The packaging of the tank itself was awesome on one I got from MD. I didn't get the stand though. Get dis thing wet, Quinnr!! Link to comment

Marine Depot will be getting a call when they open. They seemed pretty good to deal with before I ordered. The packaging of the tank itself was awesome on one I got from MD. I didn't get the stand though. Get dis thing wet, Quinnr!! Yes the tank itself is packed solid. Im working on it! Link to comment
Tmr8188 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Yeah unpacked the tank and it looks good. Marine Depot is sending a new stand. Didn't know that the leveling mat was glued to the bottom. I wanted to paint it and run it barebottom. Link to comment
shawnd08 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Awesome wood working!!! Great tank choice. Mine has been running a week now and love it. Didn't get a chance to look at the tank yet. But unpacking the stand I have a pretty beat up back piece. Marine Depot will be getting a call when they open.That sucks, I also purchased through MD and my packaging didn't seem damaged at all and it traveled from the west coast to the east in a snow storm. Probably just a pissed off employee of ups who's tired of moving this tanks around every time they Come into the warehouse. Link to comment
spectra Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Any updates ? This thing wet yet Link to comment

This thing wet yet Crazy last two weeks. Closed on a house we just sold and 5 sports tournaments with the kids has kept me away from the tank. I did pick up my rock and finally filled with water tonight to leak test!! Filled the tank tonight to make sure everything was functioning. Here is a pic Link to comment

Quinnr Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Drained the tank on Friday and got it ready to fill for today. Here are some pics of the process. Not 100% on the aquascaping yet but I'm sure i will change it a few more times Super impressed with the numbers from my Aquaforest Reef Salt! Also i didn't believe it until I mixed up salt tonight that it mixes crystal clear in under 15 minutes. No residue at all. I have never had a salt do that! Sand in tank-added a little more after this pic Pre-rock aquascaping The good stuff- Crystal clear 1.024........15 minutes Waiting for the cloudiness to settle......damn live sand Link to comment
iceman001 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Good selection of salt. Link to comment
Najay343 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Really glad I came across your thread. You may have me sold on now considering a NanoBox Duo and I may look into that salt mix. I just got this same tank on Sale through AquariumDepot. Unfortunately I just came back from working a 48 at the fire station to find it says delivered but no where to be found. Not sure if it was stollen but our front porch camera doesn't even show UPS showing up. Anyway. Eventually I will have it... Anyway, your stand is awesome, did you use a template for that?

Quinnr Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Its about time Thanks for the continual nagging Good selection of salt. So far so good. I love how quickly it dissolves. Parameters look good too Really glad I came across your thread. You may have me sold on now considering a NanoBox Duo and I may look into that salt mix.

Crap hopefully it shows up! I just made the stand the same size as the tank and the top hangs over 3/4" on each side, flush to the back and 1 1/2" on the front Link to comment
spectra Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Who did you get the salt through? What was the cost on the bucket? Link to comment
ReefRunner1 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Man these tanks look sweet. Kinda wishing I would have just got one of these. Good luck. Link to comment
Najay343 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Well i'm back.... After taking some time off from tanks I got the itch again. I decided to go with the new IM Lagoon 25. The depth of this tank is awesome for a small AIO. I am really excited to get this thing going. Not 100% sure on all the equipment yet as I'm still trying to iron that out. I'm leaning towards LEDs. I'm thinking either an AI fixture or a Radeon. Possibly will go with an innovative marine ghost skimmer. Still looking to see if there's better options out there. For flow I will go with a MP 10, Gyre 130 or Jebao RW4. The new innovative marine tanks come with the filter socks so I'll probably keep one and use a caddy on the other. I still need to build a stand as I did not like the stock ones. I will be trying out AquaForest reef products for my salt and supplement. Seems like they make a top-quality product. Livestock will be limited to a few fish. Coral wise it will be a mixture of SPS, LPS, and zoas. not sure if you figured out your flow. I have two RW-4 less than six months old. PM me if interested.

Quinnr Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Who did you get the salt through? What was the cost on the bucket? Through Amazon. I got the 22kg bucket (170G mix) for $55 shipped. Salty Supply is the US Dealer. There are 3 different salts. Sea Salt (fish and some softies), Reef Salt (LPS, zoas, and less demanding SPS), and the Probiotic (Full blown reef) Man these tanks look sweet. Kinda wishing I would have just got one of these. Good luck. They are pretty sweet. Would have sprung for the 50G if it wasn't 3 times as much not sure if you figured out your flow. I have two RW-4 less than six months old. PM me if interested.
