Nart's IM25 & IM10 Build and Re-scape!

[ranchhand02]

Thanks. I have zoas and LPS under the A80, but I am not getting much growth out of them at all. That is why I was thinking of trying an AI Prime HD. Thanks for the reply.

A lot of factors come into play, so it could be a number of things. The A80 should be adequate for the IM10. Are you getting good polyp extensions when the lights are on?
Also, if these are like 1-5 polyp frags... generally, small polyp frags grow a lot slower when compared to larger/established colonies.

FTS update.
Been behind my water changes so some SPS corals suffered as a result. But now back on track!

Very nice.

Messing with the GoPro Hero6 in the tank!

Very interesting, thinking of putting a skimmer on my 13 G AIO, limited rear section, I will look at the dimensions.

If you can clear 2.75 inches you should be good. Also you just need a minimum of 6” of water level as recommended by icecap

@Nart, how's the reef doing? Any updates?

The IM25 tank is doing great and is chugging along. Corals are growing once every other month water changes now... parameters are stable with dosing. I will get a new FTS soon.
But this is the latest addition to the IM25 tank:

Also, I don't think I mentioned it, but I've shut down the IM10 tank... and got a 60g cube going.
Here's a link to that build: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/mightynanotanks-skunk-clownfish-harem-journey.395839/

Nice addition. OG Bounce?

How do you like the Icecap K1 skimmer? I'm planning a 25g lagoon with high bioload and am trying to decide between the Aquamaxx HOB 1.5 (great but large and ugly), the Icecap, and the Eshopps nano skimmer.

Nice tanks! I especially like the scape. You have some talent there!

I noticed your IM10 started with a Kessil A160WE and you switched to AI. What was the reason for that?

I also have a IM 10, but with a A80. It has mostly LPS now but I'm planning to convert it to a QT for any SPS going to my bigger tank. Don't think my A80 will be enough for sps. I was considering the A160, but could never get any Par numbers for an A160 on an IM10. Do you remember the par you got when yours was over the IM10?
