I won this eshopps deskmate florida today at reefapalooza new york. Say hi :)
but I didnt expect to win it. Ive never had an AIO. Im not sure what to use this tank for and there wasnt even an eshopps booth for me to go bless their ears with questions. I guess it could be a rock flower garden to save my rock flowers from my shrimp. I more so was thinking i start my first bare bottom frag tank. This tank is pretty cool, its got a small euro brace and space for its own dedicated skimmer. Although im already finding myself to busy with life to do more than my basic maintenace on my tanks. I have supplies to start this tank up tonight instant cycle but im not sure if thats a good idea. This tank is way cooler than my 15g petco tank

That's a cool gift. I would be tempted to set it up for sure if I already had all the equipment.
Perhaps a nice little Macro set up, with a Neon or Clown goby.

Love those tanks! I've been tempted to get a Eshopps deskmate myself, but I really don't need another tank

Day 2 at RAP26 I checked out printed reef and snagged this filter sock replacement which I love. I also got this frag rack from PNW customs which fits perfectly in the new tank! I was also forced to join the PNW Customs club because of my girlfriend. So there will be more updates from "our" 2nd AIO later 😅
