Marine Depot sells the rails. They are designed for Hydra fixtures I just used an ATI T5 24 inch fixture and attached it to the rails. It was not ideal but it got job done.

Curious if I should run both a protein skimmer and an all in one media reactor?? If so how should I set it up for a nuvo 40?

I also want to get rid of my socks. Are the media baskets any good??

I am planning to put my Jebao pp4 powerhead right in the middle for better flow. My concern is that since it will be soaked in saltwater, does the magnet will be a problem, rust/etc. What do you all think?

I would just be really viligant about checking the magnet casing for failure. The casing of some magnets degrades and exposes the magnet which releases metals into the system. Echo tech had an issue with this as did the mag floats for a couple sponsors.

Hello - does anyone here have the 20g drop off Panorama- glass version? I’m thinking of getting one, once in stock. I think there’s a show off thread of these tanks but I could not locate it.
Would like to hear some info before owning one. Thanks!

I have the fusion 20. Everything works really good in this size tank, black silicone always nice. The only thing i changed was the return pump and the filter socks.

Fusion 20 is an option too. What kind of return pump?

Anyone using a chaeto reactor on their tanks? DIY or brand name?
Also does anyone have any of the larger IM tanks like the sr-50 or sr-80?

I do! I have an aquamaxx one that I bought second hand. I believe its the one from Marine Depot. It keeps my tank crystal clear and eliminates the need for water changes bi weekly. Now I still do the water changes but if I didn't want to I wouldn't have to.

Got a picture? Where did you put the pump?
