After a five year break, I decided to get back into the hobby. Wanted to stick with an all-in-one due to space constraints and an IM40 was the perfect fit.
Equipment:
IM Fusion 40
Sicce 2.0 return
Icecap 1K Gyre
Cobalt Neo-therm 150W
Kessil A360we
~30 lbs South Seas dry rock
30 lbs Bimini Pink live sand
Currently on day 2 of the cycle with Dr Tim's One and Only. The pH is reading somewhat low at 7.6, but I'll ride out the cycle before I start to take corrective action. Possibly residue from cleaning the tank with diluted vinegar that lowered it and a large water change or two will help.
As the tank cycles, I'll be working on setting up my raspberry pi as an aquarium controller using @Ranjib reef-pi software. Hope to have it as my lighting and temperature controller along with running an ato.
Still debating on whether to set up a skimmer, refugium, or both. Any suggestions?
This is going to be a fun adventure!
