Welcome to my build thread! I am pretty new to reefing, little under a year. This will be my second tank. I currently have my first reef tank running which is a 75 gallon with 20 gallon sump.
The 75 gallon has been rough... Hasn't gone well at all. The list of things that went wrong is large! Luckily I am moving at the begining of October hence the IM 25.
My plan is to shut down the 75 gallon and move fish, coral and inverts to the 25 while I change some things in the 75 I wasn't quite happy with. So this will be both a build thread and tank moving thread.
Anyways onto the new tank! I picked up the IM 25 lagoon all in one with stand, radion, return pump, skimmer, heater and filter socks.
I still need to pickup a screen top and some sort of powerhead. I might be able to use one from the 75 gallon? Open to recommendations on that one.
Here's what I got.
Looking for good suggestions on settings and lighting schedule with the radios.
Also started to play around with rockwork.
Aquascape 1
Aquascape 2, wife's design
Aquascape 3, I think I like this one the best so far
What does everyone use for glueing the rocks together? I tried some cement type stuff I got at my lfs on my aquascape in the 75 gallon and it didn't hold at all.
Since I won't be moving until the begining of oct this might be a slow build at the start. After I get my scape done and glued I will put it in a Rubbermaid to start the cycle so it's ready for the move.
