ADA 12g Rimless

[Lilmatty5dimes]

I've been out for a few months and got the itch back so setting up this tank that's been sitting in the garage with the rocks in it for over a year.

Tank: ADA 12g starphire glass
Lights: Marsaqua 165w
Controller:Apex Jr with pm1 module
Filtration: aquaclear 70 with intank media basket
Using intank light with cheato or
Filter floss, carbon(when needed), and some chemi-pure elite(never used) or GFO
Powehead: changed to a jebao pp-4
(tunze turbelle nanostream 6040)

Let the 2 week cycle begin today. Can't wait to finally be able to keep a reef tank again.

Tomorrow I'm going to mount a tv wall mount above the tank and hang the mars from that. Should be completely movable to have it out of my way for any maintenance. Stay tune more to come. Should be getting my intank bulbs for the intank underwater light and a cheap magnet to clean the glass with.

Looking great so far

Thanks. Had to move my power head to the back wall cause it created so much salt creep on the side of the tank so hopefully this well solve it or I'm going to have to get a smaller one.

Well, finally got a few minutes to get my tv mount on the wall and got my lights up as well. In all I like how it turned out. I can move it completely out of my way if need be or to adjust where it's at on the tank. I'll have to say I'm liking the color this led is putting out so far. Time will definitely tell here this weekend when I get some coral.

Now I've got to put in my dj switch and another one to have my lights come on automatically. I did find a tunze 3155 ato locally that I'm buying so that'll be cover. Got my replacement lights for my refugium light if I go that way. They were only $2 so I bought 5 to make shipping worth it. Lol

Found a buddy selling a tunze 3155 ato so I ending up buying that and setting up timers for the tank light while on vacation so I wouldnt really need a babysitter for the tank. I ended up not getting any coral or fish before leaving either.
Vacation was a blast whoever hasn't been to Cancun, Mexico should really go.
Upon returning ended up buying.

Man so a ton has happened in a month. lol friend broke down his tank and ended up buying everything from him. He had a 50g tank so cramming everything in a 12g was a challenge. I ended up keeping his apex jr and all his zoas which was quite a few.
