Picked up a practically new IM 25 Lagoon Ext and Fiji Cube 20 sump Sunday.
set It up on the garage to get all he plumbing in, clean it up and leak test it.
Ran over night Sunday night and got it all cleaned up today.
spent time today trying to find shelf rock locally here in San Diego today but had no luck. I’ll order some from BRS tomorrow along with a bag of special grade reef sand. it came with the stand it’s sitting on but I think I want to have a bigger custom stand made. I want a cabinet for a Apex and all the wiring etc on one side and storage for gear on the other. I’d also like my ATO reservoir inside the cabinet with the sump and have a little more room under the tank.
i have a Prime 16HD on my current IM 10 gallon that I planned to use on this tank, but I‘m considering getting a Radion for this tank. I dont know which one though so if of you have a suggestion on a Radion please pass it on.
A couple other things I could use suggestions on are a skimmer and a DC return pump. The tank came with a Jebao DCS 2000. The pump is pretty quiet but seems like I could use a little bigger return pump. I got a Reef Link and a MP 10 with the tank so I’ve considered a Eco Tech return pump. I just don’t know that I can justify the cost of those pumps.
Any suggestions for a skimmer and return pump are appreciated!
i e attached a couple pics of the new (to me) system set up for cleaning and leak text. More pics and updates coming as the build progresses.
