Life hit me hard, again, and I got up, again. I came real close to a reef tank when stuff that will happen did, and it has been abandoned. But I am now going in a new direction and downsizing to a 20 gal IM Fusion. I am not sure how to give a link to my last build but I'll figure that out and I am sure most of you already know how to see it anyway. On the last post on that thread I explained that I was giving up on the biggie and going with the smallie.
 
So I picked up a tank on Marketplace and cleaned it up. Water test was good. Tank came with a Sicce IDRA pump that with research was found to be worth about 345gph. From what I've read that should be enough. It also came with;
a Hydor Koralia Nano 240 powerhead,
a Prime AI 16,
2 IM media baskets
and 2 IM Spinstream flow nozzels.
I've added a Fuze ATO,
an Inkbird controller (from my previous tank),
2 50 watt Aquael Ultra heaters, 2
IM High Tide baffels
and 2 IM Fish guards.
I'm setting it up in my music room where I am most days. Found a great stand on Amazon.
I have so much unused rock from the last build and five buckets of salt. My RODI station was made for a much bigger tank so have RODI or salt water is gonna be so easy to manage. I will have 35 gallons of each at any given time. Anyway just getting re-started and even though I have learned a lot over the years, I have still yet to put water to sand and rock I am now and will look forward to asking all of you Pros all kinds of questions. God bless and goodnight.
 
Sounds like a good time to get wet! May seem a bit intimidating but once you get going and look back you will be surprised :)
