Packages are starting to come in.

Everything is here minus some short right angle extension cords. I am mounting 3/8 over inside the stand prior to assembly. I am using some 3mm t nuts for 8020 to hold the pvc.

Tank is up and running!!!

I am using Red Sea blue salt. I mixed my own. I bought a full suite of Hanna testing gear. As stated above I mounted everything prior to assembling the stand. I even added motion sensor strip lights that are connected to a 24v outlet on the Apex.

I am going with a 5 liter dos container for my ATO.

 

[laconic]

The 5 liter container barely fits in the cabinet. I drilled a couple holes in the top for the pump and the optical water sensor.

Did my first water

change yesterday and moved some zoas around

 

[laconic]

Changed the light to a AI Bade coral grow. I like it a lot. I had to modify the stand a bit. It would be nice if AI allowed the horizontal metal arm to move inside the acrylic but I am sure this is only a small tank issue.

Where did you get your clownfish?

 

[laconic]

Top Shelf Aquatics, its somewhat local.

Added a Nero 3 and a Corals by design roller mat.

Added an Aquatop nano UV sterilizer and the HMS mount for the blade. Excuse the tank. I went a little overboard at Reef A Palooza this last weekend and have some frags to mount.

 

[Hooz]

Nice! I'll follow along as I get ready to redo my IM 10.

How is that fleece roller working for you so far?

Thinking about the orange storm clown

Wow. That guy looks like a straight up a** hole. Pretty fish, though.

I love my clown, but he's a dick.

Love the shape of that rock. Is that one piece, or did you glue several pieces together?

Its once piece, I went to top shelf to buy some rock to make my own and they had it pre built

6 month update. I added a fan as my office runs warm. It’s great it hookups to the apex 24v so no power adapter require. The Zoas are starting to grow reef a palooza Orlando.
