My first build thread!!! And lovin’ it!
I’ve contemplated doing one of these a few different times, but never followed through. I’m currently in the process of down-sizing and switching back from T5 to LED – breaking down my Fusion 20. I went with the 20 so that I could use a T5 fixture (ATI bulbs) to house some nice rainbow acans. As I’m sure you all know, focus/interests tend to change in this hobby and I’m now going back to my first love – zoas.
Before the Fusion 20 I had a Nuvo 8 and before that a Red Sea Max 130D.
Here’s the build:
Tank:
IM Fusion 10
Lighting:
AI Prime with mount (modified mount to lower fixture as much as possible as I have limited height to work with)
Flow:
RW-4
Included Return Pump (might upgrade later, but with the RW-4 I don’t see a need)
Heating:
Fluval E-Series 50 Watt
Water Filtration/Media:
inTank Media Basket
CaribSea Arag-Alive Hawaiian Black Sand (about 1 ½ inches)
1Med-Lrg live rock – going with minimalistic rockscape
Looking to get an IM Ghost Nano Skimmer or PicO skiM 2.0
Control:
Apex Jr. w/temp probe
Tunze Nano Osmolator ATO
Fish and Invertebrates:
Black ice Clownfish
CUC (mix snails, blue and red hermit crabs)
Thinking of going a different direction:
Tail Spot Blenny
Pink-streaked Wrasse
Coral:
Zoas/Palys:
Hallucinations
ASD CAO
Orange Rainbow Infusion\
K-tar G-Hornets
Unattainable Paly
Rastas
Blondies
Utter Chaos
Fruit Loops
KH Sunburst
God of War
Roulettes
Poison Pox Paly
JF Crazy Ladies
Bright Yellow minis
Misc:

Tyree War & Peace favia
RR Loki favia
Darth Maul favia
ASD Flamethrower favia
No-Name green and powder blue favia
