{Guys: this is an old/new thread that i have been meaing to post up for some time now. I just have not had the time to do so. Keep in mind that some of info on here may be in the past tense. I Started this back in Feb 2016 but only posted this on my local reefer club site}
So, its been a long time coming, but I am finally ready to take down my old tank (72gal bow) and set up a new tank (smaller tank) in my living room. The 72 gal bow front wasn't working for me as it was in my basement and pretty much outta sight, outta mind type of deal. At a reef club meeting in February of this year, a fellow reef club member told me that she had a spare tank that was sitting in her basement and that If I wanted, I was more than welcome to have it. long story short, I finally got around to picking it up about 2weeks ago and here it is, the red sea D 130L or 34gal AIO.
here is a photo from a website so can get a sense of what it should look like when its all done.
here is a photo of the actual tank in my living room, before I gave it a good cleaning with some water, vinegar and razor blade.
and here is the after pic
now that she's been all shined up, it was time to give this thing a "once over". Now back tracking a little bit, to my surprise, I never really knew that red sea had an AIO line that resembled a bio cube. so after doing a little more research on it, I came to realize that RS has discontinued this item (which is probably why I never heard of it) I am mentioning this because after my "once over" on this beast of a tank, I came to realize that at 1st glance, this was a pretty much built to be a plug n play type thing and aside from a few things being a bit dated, IMO, it was well thought out by RS
