Tank looks great! i have a 40 gal AIO as well. How long has your tank been together? Have you had your diatom bloom yet?

I had a small one but I went lights out and it went away. It came back but is getting beat by green atm slowly but surely. I had a diatom outbreak because I had my lights on waaaay to much. So I cut it off for 5 days and it went away. It’s been about 3 months since cycle

I have 2 return pumps. One side has a big bag of seachem carbon the other side has 2 huge bags of seachem biomedia and a poly filter cut in half and half of it on each side. I also got a flat neotherm Heater by cobalt that I run in the carbon side

I don’t have any of the insides but if you look at the back of the tank you can see how it’s setup

Haven’t shown my corals in a while. Here’s some pics!
I’m not really sure why the filter makes the disco ball effect I didn’t see it irl.

Got some rock and sand for the 65 gallon tank. Now I just got to find time to clean it upp! Only 32 pounds of sand and 51 pounds of rock. I got about 9 pounds of white rock left from my last build should be plenty.

More goodies from lfs. I finally got an auto top off! A reef breeders! Had to take off a piece of the black cover the manufacture put on the back of my tank. Used some goo gone to get rid of the glue being very careful not to get any into my tank. Works great!

 

[fl3xlinton]

Also got a little goby fish. I don’t remember what he said it was.

 

[fl3xlinton]

I got an Acropora frag. Cheap for 20 bucks figured why not. And a little encrusting montipora frag for 30.

 

[fl3xlinton]

Probably gonna get to cleaning my 65 today a wild hair crawled up my butt! Haha this thing is a mess tho.

Are you going to run a sump on your 65?

I believe that is a court jester goby. I think they prefer live food

You’re right it is a court jester but they are omnivores. Help with algae and they’ll eat the Mysis that everything else gets every few days. And no I’m worried bout drilling it I was just going to run either a hob or a canister.

65 is almost completely spotless now. Pretty stoked.
