Leigh Ann decided she wanted her own tank so the guys at Aquatic Marine set her up with a nice "kitchen counter tank", 13.5 Gal. Fluval Evo.

Leigh Ann was inspired by @seased super secret closet zoa/acan tank ( I guess it is not a secret now[emoji13]). She plans on a couple of zoa islands surrounded by acans. She went with fine sand for a gobie/shrimp pair.

She has always been interested in my/our tanks but frustrated that what she wants for the tank doesn't always work with what I want. I am excited she has her own tank to do with as she wants. The downside is she is already trying to steal livestock/equipment from my tank! [emoji16]

Here are some pictures of the build,..I guess this is more of an assemble than a build![emoji12]

Thanks Chris,..I will tell Leigh Ann.

They are 3 stage capable, but you have to purchase the skimmer separately. Not planning on running a skimmer at this point.

Looks good! Stop by sometime and you can pick something out of the closet tank for your new setup.

Thanks David, Leigh Ann will be excited.

Had some Marco Rock on hand so Leigh Ann designed her rock-scape.

Acid bath to remove the junk. Never acid bathed this small amount of rock,..I think I could have used a little weaker acid solution. [emoji15]

Rinsed and running in fresh water being treated with LC. Not near as much rock as we started with. [emoji13]
