Howdy all!
I am new to the forum and wanted to share my AIO build. I currently own a mixed reef Planet Aquarium AIO 47g. The tank has been up and running for about a year now. I have had a few ups and downs with chemistry and livestock. I am always learning more about this hobby and I am looking forward to the resources provided by this forum.
Current setup on my 47g AIO
Sicce return pump
x2 100w BRS titanium heaters with INKBIRD controller
x2 AI Hydra 16
Red Sea reef wave 25
Icecap hang-on skimmer
Carib sea sand and life rock
x2 media baskets from Kreative Reefer (filter floss up top, with 3 chambers or layers with bag of carbon, bag of zeolite, foam, purigen filter and bag of media at the bottom for bacteria)
Additional bag of ceramic media in the sump chamber
One thing I am excited about is I will soon be converting one of my sump chambers to a refugium. I will be using chaeto from Algae Barn with a Tunze refugium light.
Livestock consists of the following fish and corals:
Sailfish Tang (he is too big for this tank and will be moving to the new tank once it is cycled)
Fox face rabbit fish (moving to the new tank as well)
6 line wrasse
Chromis
Exquisites
Engineer goby
X2 snowflake clownfish
Hawkfish
Yellow wrasse
Urchins
X2 starfish
Snails and hermits
Corals include Montiporas, acropora, mushrooms, candy canes, blastomusa, micromusa, goniopora, Zoas, palys, brain, hammers, polyps, Acan’s, bowebanki, gsp, Duncan, chalice
I have really fallen in love with the diversity of corals available. While my main LFS is glass aquatics in hurst (they have a great selection to choose from), I enjoy going to many LFS to to gaze at their corals. I also recently went to aquashella where I was amazed and overwhelmed with all of the options available. Though I am currently on a coral embargo from my wife because we just invested in a new 167g tank and all of the items that come with that build.
Here are some pictures of my tank and favorite corrals.
