I started one in the all in one threads but I went about it pretty sloppily so I’m gonna try again here. I’ve been working on this tank for about a year and a half now. It evolved from an IM nuvo 10 when I found the tank stand and light for 300 on Craigslist locally. Here’s the tank when I first brought it home.

And after I got it all cleaned up and transferred everything over plus a couple brand new pieces of rock

And after it cleared up a little
8/17/2021
Current equipment list:
RSM 250
Aquatic life t5 hybrid fixture
Bulbs are:
Giesemann super actinic
Giesemann super purple
Giesemann super actinic
Giesemann super purple
1 ai prime hd (later upgraded to two and then back to 1 after I realized it was too much light and one of my lights would not longer let me adjust it)
2 unknown return pumps
1 maxspect jump 2k gyre
Stock skimmer
Back chambers are loaded with bioballs
Run Red Sea carbon on occasion when I see
Auto aqua smart ATO
Dosing ESV B-ionic
Hanna alk and calcium checker
Red Sea phosphate and nitrate tests
Salifert mag alk and cal test to double check the Hanna readings
And that’s about it. Sorry I’m starting this so late I will continue to add to it this weekend until we get to current day but I will start with this, thanks anyone for checking it out and I’m excited to really be trying to become apart of the online community and not just watching from a far! I love this place, it’s definitely the best form of social media if you can even call it that.
