Innovative Marine AIO 15 Build

[CollinReefs]

Hi all! This is my first tank since being out of the hobby for around 5 years and I couldn’t be more excited to dive back in!

As the title states, I have an Innovative Marine AIO 15 and I have loved it so far. My tank is only a month and a half old and is stocked (so far) with a Gold Nugget Maroon Clown and some softie corals.

Currently running an AI Prime 16HD at around 40% and have very little mechanical filtration (just using filter floss and chemipure elite).

Pictured above is when corals were first added. Notice the damselfish I had given a chance (he did not stick around for long before I took him back to an LFS)

Changed the rocks a bit after removing the damsel.

I noticed a part of the Kenya Tree fell off, is that just how it “reproduces”?

Very happy with results right now! I have some Cyanobacteria, but I am not too worried as I am due for a water change and parameters for the tank are healthy.

Let me know if you guys have any tips on any mechanical filtration I can add to the system, or just any tips in general!

Looking great. Yep, the kenya tree will frag itself. I would move the zoa rock an inch away from the others to prevent them from taking over.

Edit: For mechanical filtration, IM makes sqaure socks that can drop in the back. I never had them on my IM 20 bc $$ but would use a ball of floss and swap it out once a week.

Off to a good start. Looks like time to add the clean up crew!
