Hello all! I’m just starting the fishless water cycle in my new AIO tank. Super stoked to learn about what it takes to make a thriving and successful ecosystem! Here’s my setup (so far):
Tideline AIO 31 gallon
Weipro wh-1000 return pump (came with)
Noopsyche K7 III light (ordered a week ago but no emails received so far- seems risky from what I’ve read lately )
Rhein Jager 100w heater with inkbird controller
Filter tower and tank lid from Kreative Reefer (just ordered)
BRS 5-stage RODI system
And a bunch of testing/various supplies

Still a few things I want to get (wavemaker, battery backup, Hanna testers, ATO, etc) but am more than excited for this adventure. Let me know if you have any tank or equipment recommendations! I’m all ears!

Welcome to the community! My AIO cycle is almost complete, so if you need a good laugh or what not to do please come visit my build thread ha-ha. I'd love to follow along with yours if you make one. I got the Hanna master tester kit instead of the individual handheld ones. I'd recommend it for testing just so you get a wide range of tests available. I'm also looking at what USP I want for my battery backup. If you see something that catches your eye, please tag me to let me know! I'd love to see what you get :D
