Project Happy Wife Happy Life....IM Fusion 10

[Brian Kim]

So as I've mentioned on earlier posts, I am in the process of upgrading my wife's fluval 5 gal tank which is sitting right next to our bed .

She is really into feather dusters, so I decided to keep the white sand instead of going with the black ones #rosieosieee thanks for the advise and inspiration.

As for biological filtration, I am going to reuse all the live rocks, seachem matrix and some of the sand from the 5 gal to get things kicking in. As for mechanical, I've ordered an upgraded media basket (not intank) where I am going to be using chemipure blue, purigen, matrix and filter floss.

I have ordered Tunze 9004 (lol overkill for this tank) but it came broken (propeller and the fan to the tube came lose) so I am going to be returning it for another skimmer. I've seem some people mod 9001 to fit in the middle chamber but I decided to go with those japanese glass mame? brand once they get them back in stock. (Open for suggestions)

Turns out the tank and the media basket won't make it today so I will keep you guys up to date once it arrives here on Friday and will be posting pictures of its progress step by step

Hope you guys contribute by giving me ideas and suggestions. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving

That bottle of wine is placed waaaaay to perfectly for it to have been a mistake. I see what you did there....

Check out the cad lights 150 nano skimmer, this thing pulls some funk! Pipeless design saves a ton of room and is rated for 60 gallons!

Okay guys, so I just had to drive down to my LFS for their supper B.Friday deals and picked up some pretty cool stuff for this project.
Tank should be here tomorrow

Ok guys, so I finally got the tank delivered today. Although this is not nearly as exciting as following a mega tank in the making, I thought it could somewhat benefit or help someone who's trying to build a small tank or perhaps even the same tank. So here we go

Looks great so far, upgrading tanks is always exciting. Just be carful where you put that galaxea. They can reach about a foot with their tentacles. Keep up the good work and you know we all like more pics!
