IM 20 Upgrade

[Fishyj]

I finally upgraded to an Im 20. I went from a 13 gallon tank to this. My equipment list:

Im 20 tank
Sb extreme 16" wifi light
2 intank filter holders
1 intank fuge (second chamber)
1.0 sicce return pump
Mame glass skimmer
Whisper air pump
Hydor auto top off
Aqua lifter for ato
Aquatop heater
Diy temp controller
Koralia nano powerhead

Livestock:
2 clownfish
1 fire shrimp
Misc snails

Corals:
Duncan
Hammer coral
Plate
Misc mushrooms
Couple acans
Torch
Misc soft corals

I plan on adding more corals to this as well as well as either 2 more fish or maybe a shrimp golby combo. I also will be adding a fuge light.

Nice tank!
Do you plan adding anything else besides the goby ?

Beautiful everything and thank you for sharing Fishyj.

 

[Fishyj]

I will be looking into what fishes I can add to the tank and then I will decide.

Looks good. I have that same light and you will certainly be able to home any coral you wish with it on that tank.

I really like this light. Once you learn how to program it. Also love you can set up multiple programs.

Just a quick update, I am going through the brown diatom stage, my clean up crew has been busy. Iam still trying to dial in the mame skimmer. I only feed the tank very lightly so I may have to wait for a darker skim mate. I have looked into reef controllers and have decided to try building one with reef-pi. That itself should keep me busy. I will update here as well start a controller diy build.

Please include a link here to your reefpi build when you start. I've been toying with the same idea

Fishyj,

How are you liking the tank so far? Love the rockscape!

Also looking forward to seeing more about your reefpi.

I would love some feedback on the Mame skimmer as the tank breaks in...

 

[Fishyj]

It has been a while. I have had the tank up and running now for a while and everything is doing great. The mame skimmer is a great addition for this tank. I had a break in period of 2 weeks and it does skim pretty good but it is on the wet side. I do clean it every 2 weeks or so due to build up in the glass. I also have been working on my reef-pi controller which is now up and running, https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/my-reef-pi-build.510293/
That has been working flawlessly and does my temperature, ato, and timer for fuge light. I eventually will be adding a doser to the build.

I have had the tank running on auto pilot with the reef-pi and I am happy to say it's been trouble free. The ato is very accurate. My tank seems so much happier then before. Sorry for the blue in the pictures, its night time now. My bounce mushroom is 6 inches now when fully opened. It has not had any babies as of yet but I am hopefull .

That is a wicked mushroom rock. Jealous.
