I’m an addict, enter the Mariana by Eshopps

[Cyndi & Jim]

Ooops! I did it again!
Now I have all 3 Deskmates!!!

It’s a 7g drop off with euro brace.
Comes with a return pump and a sock.
-Using the Sicce Jolly heater.
-Upgrading to the Sicce Micra+ like the rest
-Dual flow orange RFG from VCA is here!

Looks like this may become a dwarf seahorse tank with macro algae’s like I had in the past.

I guess you are hooked!

I tried to quit about 2 years ago (after 20+ years in the hobby). But I love snorkeling in the Keys and doing some collecting (legally), so I tries a 40g breeder AIO. Now I'm hooked all over again. So I even made a 40g cube AIO. The breeder has a mix, but mostly a 3" mantis shrimp and 2 clowns I rescued from somebody getting out of the hobby. The cube is all SPS, LPS, some RFAs and some small feather dusters (no fish).

I’m going on 17 years strong myself! There is no permanent cure for us.

I think you are right.

And I was all set to go snorkeling and do some collecting in the Keys next week, but I'm just getting over a bad cold and now my wife (who loves snorkeling even more than I do) has it bad. So we had to cancel (72 hour cancellation policy at the motel). It's a shame because the weather forecast, especially the wind forecast, looks spectacular. And when we get rescheduled, probably in July, we'll be deeper into the hurricane season and thunderstorm season.

If you haven't looked it over, check out this link to some of what we do in the Keys.

Love the set up. Should be able to put all kinds of gems in there. Slightly jealous.

Couldn’t find a stand to fit both properly, but this will do temporarily.

Stand works great from what I see!

 

[Esage]

Any updates on this build? Can you replace the filter sock with a media rack? What size return pump are you using ?

Thanks

I would honestly be fine with that. Trust me, it can be a lot worse.
