Chris' IM 50G Lagoon AIO

[chrisdonzella]

Hello everyone
I generally post very little but decided to change my ways and share here my reef journey. I am back into the hobby after a long exit but to be honest, I struggled to fully commit in my past attempts for many reasons. I would start gathering and planning a tank and convince myself everything else took priority. Some of that were true (wife, 4 kids, 4 dogs, 5 cats, etc....) but the reality is I was stopping myself. Lots has shifted as of late and I decided to do this for me, a sign of some healing. Welcome to my therapy sessions.

So here it is.

I will start with the tank showing up May 4th. In the next 2 or 3 posts I will build an equipment list and update it as things change over time.

Thank you for a place to share some joy.

Here is the tank delivery and unboxing...

Got most of the equipment in - here is my laundry room for the RO/DI set-up

The red brute on the left is 32G (more than enough) with a gate valve on bottom and fload valve on top.

And this is my wiring 95% complete. Still working wire management under the tank but on the back of the tank make me happy.
