debbeach13 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Hello! Hope this message finds you well Love what you have done with the Im fusion 10 Would you be interested in a free reefcasa studio 12 aquarium (reefcasa.com) It would come as a kit and with a light to get it up and running In exchange we ask that you start a thread on that tank and document its progress Let us know if interested! Thanks March Fragbox Tv on youtube fragboxcorals@gmail.com I said yes I can do that! 5 Quote Link to comment

debbeach13 Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 Honestly, I am still in shock that I was asked. There are so many reefers with gorgeous tanks compared to mine. My first thought was maybe they want to show case how anyone can set this up and have a nice little reef. Now that I have seen Tia's studio 12 display. I am a little nervous. Maybe a little jealous that there is no way I could ever afford to buy all those corals. No matter I will come up with something. Hopefully it will be entertaining and informative. 4 Quote Link to comment

Nano sapiens Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 I received the same notice.. My gut feeling is that they are looking at high post counts and those who have been on here for a long time, not so much at specific aquariums or reading up on the build threads. While not my thing, I hope this all goes well for you! 3 1 Quote Link to comment

debbeach13 Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 I found the rock. Should be plenty. Going to resurrect The stand I built for the Evo 5. Going to have to make a new top. Pretty sure it is short by one inch. 5 Quote Link to comment

debbeach13 Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 That's the only kind I have ever had. Even more so now that I am a retiree. 3 Quote Link to comment
4d-Rock Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Ya, Tia’s tank had a ton of coral and livestock in it. Kinda unrealistic for a regular person who doesn’t work in a store, or have very deep pocketed, to do something similar. It’s like $3000 worth of stuff without even counting the equipment! 1 Quote Link to comment

debbeach13 Posted October 9, 2022 Author Share Posted October 9, 2022 It most likely is dry rock purchased from BRS that came out of a 10-gallon BTA tank that I took down. I checked the new tank dimensions and I believe front to back is 15" which would NOT require a new top on the stand. Less work for me:) Quote Link to comment
spectra Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Well BRS used to sell pukani....... one of my favorite type to use as its light and very porous easy to cut and drill also if needed...... 1 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 The tank was delivered today. I did unbox it. Wanted to make sure it wasn't broken. It appears fine. I will start an official journal no later than this weekend. 7 Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 That's awesome! I feel like buying one already. 1 Quote Link to comment

debbeach13 Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 In hindsight I would recommend if anyone else that was made the offer to try one of these tanks decides to accept. Make arrangements (pay for it) to include the lid. 3 Quote Link to comment

4d-Rock Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Looks good, are you thinking of putting a skimmer on it or what filtration setup? Also any plans yet for the direction for the tank or inhabitants? 1 Quote Link to comment
