What's up you amazing Reef2Reefers! Recently @IOAOI released their new Coralland 8 Gallon AIO aquarium. I know several of us on here have them up and running and some of them are awesome looking (I'm looking at you, @exnisstech )! If you're running one of these tanks, let's see them!!!!

Here's mine!

It's a work in progress.

I know there's more out there!
 
Rock flower garden away! It’s been literally zero maintenance but I do think it could use a solid water change.

Thank you! I’m only a year into reefing and have crashed and burned on my DT it’s about to fire up again for another try but this is satisfying. I maybe put the total of 10-15 minutes a week into it? Eventually I expect it to get overrun with babies. The sexy shrimp are hiding but it is nice to stare at!
 
Hey everyone! I finally had some time over the weekend to set up the tank and make a few modifications. Overall, I’m really impressed — the build quality is fantastic. The glass is crystal clear, and the baffle layout is spot on. You don’t hear any splashing or water noise at all.

Since I have a CO2 laser cutter, I made a custom AIO cover for the tank. I’m actually considering producing them and offering them for sale to fellow members here — let me know if there’s any interest!

I also swapped out the stock filter sock for a filter floss cup I had lying around. It fit perfectly and should make maintenance easier.

To center the light over the tank, I notched the middle baffle. The first cut was super clean, though things got a little messy after that — but thankfully it’s all hidden under the cover.

The light I’m using is the Aquanest M4-W40, which my LFS had on the shelf. It’s a 40W light that’s nearly identical to the Aqua Knight you see on Amazon, but with the added bonus of WiFi control.

The return pump is the IOAOO Nano pump from Amazon. It’s completely silent and performs flawlessly for this setup.

This tank will be a dedicated Bubble Tip Anemone build, and it’s going right on my work desk. Can’t wait to see it come to life!

I trimmed back the Dragons Breath and added the first fishy and his friend!

My IOAOI tank has been running for a couple months now. I'm using the IOAOI brand return pump and their new light. I've placed some random frags in the tank to see how they'll respond. Still fighting a little bit of the ugly stage however.

Beautiful layout, rocks well placed.
 
Glad I found this thread (thanks ChatGPT). Just set mine up a week ago, still cycling but I used KP aquatics reef starter live rock which is super cool looking and covered in coralline. Once I get some livestock added I'll share another pic here. Swapping the fluval nano LED light out with an AI prime 16HD and swapping the powerhead out with a jebao SW-2 as the sicce powerhead is comically oversized for this setup. Going with mostly softies and a few LPS, maybe SPS down the road. Thinking of what fish I want, hi fin goby/pistol shrimp is high on my want list.
