Been a while since I last updated the thread. Started getting lazy with the upkeep of two tanks, so I consolidated the two. My IM 25 ext lagoon is now plumbed into my display tank. I've decided to turn that one into a frag tank. Heres what the display looks like now.

That is looking awesome , I am still in the cycling phase with my IM 30L EXT , and but. I am taking my time and following the BRS/WWC hybrid method of a 4 month cycle. But I do have something planned for my Display tank lol

So i think I found a fix for the small doors. I decided to move the support arm closer towards the middle of the tank. Rather than 3 barely usable doors, I now have 2 big useful openings and 1 semi-usable one. 2 out of 3 doors is a win in my book. I now get some light bleed at night through the seam, but the benefits far outweigh the cons. Hope this helps anyone else.

That’s smart with the support beam. I’m building the same tank right now and might consider doing that myself. Was it difficult to move with the tank full?

I actually bought another support beam. I think it was like $14. I was a little prehensive with just taking it out without some type of support. Stuck the extra one in the back.

Tanks been great!!!! All my sps are doing great. Had a little scare with a bad mixing pump leaching metals into the tank. Thank god I had an icp sent in before things got really bad. Only lost 4 pieces since I caught it early. Everything is encrusting and growing great now. Tank itself has been a dream as well.
