Hi all,

Thought I would share my semi DIY project now the tank has had fish in for 4 weeks now!

I got a 75cm by 35cm by 40cm glass tank. I ordered some acrylic to turn it into a AIO system this takes up 10cm. Here is a photo of what it looks like.

The only thing I wish I did differently was use Black silicon and do a cleaner job! over all!

I currently have a Firefish, Red spotted hawk fish. Plus a Elbi angel.
Now I know this tank is slightly undersized for a Elbi angel however I am already planning a larger tank and have always like the Elbi angel and my store happened to have one in so I thought short term it will be ok. I have had no issue with aggression. Even the fire fish seems to be in the open a lot considering they are shy I think this is quite cool!

For stocking I will leave it at that for now and now maybe onto some basic soft corals to start with.

Equipment list:
-AI prime 16HD
-TMC reef pump compact 1500
-Wavereef K1 Skimmer
-200 watt heater on a Inkbird controller (when for a slightly bigger heater due to the colder climate here)
-2x Jebao SLW 5

I am not usual one for sharing as I do tend to worry about being judge or what people will think. But I have got the courage now to do so!
Any recommendations or advice please let me know but so far I am very happy with how its coming along!
