Hi everyone! This is my first build thread so please be patient with me.
I am in the process of setting up a little 10 Gallon frag tank. The tank will be mostly, if not all, zoas. It will be bare bottom, with no rocks; only Seachem Matrix in the back chamber.
I decided to go with a UNS 45A, all in one tank. I was really disappointed by the lack of surface skimming it provided. It hardly skims anything. I had to buy a stand-alone Aquatop surface skimmer. The return pump was also quite crappy so I replaced it. Overall, I would not recommend this tank. The only reason I got it is I really like the width compared to the IM 10. Oh and it fit a stand I had from my freshwater days.
For equipment I went with:
AI Prime 16HD
Aqamai KPS
Auto Aqua Smart ATO Lite
Eheim Jager 50W
Aquatop Surface Skimmer
I set it up almost a month ago and has been cycling.
My very sad and unorganized cabinet. For ATO container I just bought a food storage container from walmart. It's 1 gallon and lasts me a week before refilling. Got it for like $10 bucks.
This is only my second marine tank so I'm eager to see how it turns out. Wish me luck!
