I've been out of the hobby for a couple years now. I kept a lot of my equipment and have finally decided it's time to jump back in. I started with the Innovative Marine Nuvo 20 AIO and have now upgraded it to the Innovative Marine Lagoon 50 AIO.

Equipment:
. 2 Radion XR15 Blue Gen5
. XHO Light Strips
. Overflow caddy with ChemiPure Blue and filter floss
. ATO
. ApexEL & WMX module
. Trident
. Innovative Marine Skimmer
. Innovative Marine Grow Light
. Hang Off Back Refugium
. Three MP10s
. Maxspect BioBricks
. Innovative Marine Return Pump
. 150 Watt Heaters (2)
. Fan

Fish List:
. Gem Tang
. Desjardini SailfinTang
. Splendid Fairy Wrasse
. Dusky Wrase
. Two Mocha Storm Clownfish
. Hermits, trochus and conch
. Urchin and sand sifting starfish

Coral:
. Couple torches
. Couple tester SPS ( birdsnest and PC Rainbow)
. GSP
. Blasto

Aquascape is pretty minimalist...

Please enjoy the progress and I always welcome any feedback. Thank you.

Which mount did you use for the lights? Also, where'd you find the fans and how to they secure to the mount/tank? Would like to do something similar in this build...

Hey! I couldn't use the RMS mounts that I have for my XR15s so I went to Lowes and got some pipe and come 90 degree bends and built a stand for my lights.

The fans I got on Amazon, they attach using a clip that the fans come with to the rods of the light stand I built. Here is the link to the fans: ... Your build is coming along quite nicely! Looking forward to seeing it's progress.

Any issues with running the Trident in the stand under the tank like you have? I also have an IM AIO and am trying to work out Trident placement. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!
