Quick question.

The filter sock is a very loose fit. Should I push it against the back or front wall in the first chamber.

I’m pretty stoked I picked up one of these and a peninsula 15 gallon while I’m setting up and planning my 250 gallon tank I’ll use these as quarantine tanks for small fish and acros once the big tanks are up and running. Gonna run radion xr15 pros on them. Need mp10’s for flow.

It finally arrived and I gotta say... It was so worth the wait. The quality is on another level compared to the Aqueon tank I returned. Plus, it fit the stand I built perfectly. =) Now I gotta 3d print a filter floss basket and make a custom lid and I can finally get it wet.

The filter stock is designed to be smaller front to back as a failsafe. Our weirs include a transparent flow director so you should push the sock towards the weir. Thanks

agree on quality. Was very surprised when I opened it today. I’ve been out of reefing for a decade. glad to be back.

I got my tank today but blew out my MCL on Saturday so I couldn’t finish building my walnut stand in the shop. Surgery is in 2 weeks so I probably won’t even get to it for over a month. Straight up torture!

GRRR... that would drive me crazy. Hey, you're not too far from me.

So I originally was considering getting one of these but decided against it because I wasn’t sure where I would put it in my house. Then yesterday my wife mentioned something about an aquarium sale that she got an advertisement for. I told her that if I was going to buy any tank it would be this one for cheap but I don’t have anywhere to put it. She then mentioned we could move some stuff around in our bedroom and put it in there. So that sounds like permission right?

If that is not a green light, i don't know what is. lol Just do it!
It actually was a green light. She asked me what else I would need to buy and asked how much it will actually cost and once I told her she said it was fine to get it.
Luckily other than a small heater I have everything else I would need.

So I finally ordered mine. For anyone still looking at this tank it’s now available on saltwateraquarium.com. With the points that they gave out plus a few I already had I got the tank for $108 after the extra shipping and I picked up a free beer stein with it.
