I just ordered a 15g IM AIO

This is the light in the picture.

So you did order the aquanight??

Let me know how this goes for you! I have the same tank it's just I can't set it up because I don't have a kessil yet. What light are you using? I went with the aquanight.

A trick I learned is soak your rock in high PH water. About 11 should work. Instant ocean reef salt is what I'm using to soak the rock in. This will erode the soft parts of the rock away.

I think so, it was in my storage unit from my first build.

My Aquascape is done, and the tank is cycling. Please excuse the lack of a blue filter. I'm still trying to find it in my storage unit. I have my light set on LPS. The light is on just to show how it looks with light. I still need to even put the sand, but for the most part it's done.

Oh and still working on the auto water change, auto top off, and protein skimmer.

Anyone have any suggestions on the protein skimmer that would fit in this tank?

Sorry I haven't posted in a bit about my tank. I'm getting a lot from BRS today. I ordered a Court Jester Goby and a Buan's Goby from BIOTA will be here Tuesday. I also order a lot of coral from AquaSD will be here Wednesday.

I did get the proper power supply for my light. Here is in updated pic. Could not find my blue light filter.

Can't wait to see those fish in there!

They are just little babies right now. I had to zoom in to get them both visible.

The top tiny fish is a Buan's Goby. I named him Drak. The bottom one is a court jester Goby. I named him Gizmo.

If you want a budget light later, check out the Smatfarm light on amazon. I picked it up for about $100. Fully programmable. I’ve had it on my IM 15 gallon, and all my coral seem to do well with it.

I need a blue light filter. I already have a good budget light payed $150 for it.

Got all my coral in today. I ordered from AquaSD. 19 frags in total. Fuzzy mushroom, Florida Recordia, a very interesting Disco, 4 different Zoa one being Toy Yoda, Lepto, clove Polyp, Palm Tree polyp, 2 Button Scoly, 1 acan, 2 rock flowers, 1 Maxi mini carpet anemone, chalice coral, Duncan, and bizarro Cyphastrea(I think) it is definitely Cyphastrea just don't know what kind.

They are still settling in. I have my lights at 10% right now. Will be going up 1% everyday until I reach 20%, then a break for a week and then another 1% a day until I get to 40%.

I love court jesters!

I love court jesters!

Same, and the fact they love green hair algae is always a bonus.

I just grabbed some cleaning supplies from Dollar Tree. I use the microfiber sponge with a mixture of RODI water and vinegar to clean the outside of the tank. Then I use the shammy to dry the tank to avoid streaks. The shammy is also great for spills.
