Wanted to start a new build thread for my IM 15 gallon. I started it up October 2023, (upgrade from my previous tank).

It currently has:
1x Tailspot Blenny
1x Osc Clown
3x Cerith Snails
1x Candy Cane
1x Toadstool
1x Monti Digitata

I'm bought the IM APS stand with the tank and I absolutely love it. It was probably overpriced, but the overall look and sturdiness is awesome.

Equipment:
Hydor Koralia Nano Powerhead 240 GPH
Hydor Theo Heater 50W
Inkbird Temp Controller (love this thing)
Tunze Osmolator 3155 ATO (also love this thing)
Fluval Sea Nano Light (wanting to replace this, having trouble with the monti and suspect this light isn't putting out enough par)
Penn Plax Battery Air Pump (saved tank once already)

I'm hoping to dial in my lighting so I can grow some easy SPS (suggestions welcome).
