So this is going to be a long winded start to the series of event that have lead me to this point as of now
As of a month ago i owned a im 100 tank had been up for a year but i got bored as i do and started thinking i wanted somthing more around the time im was releasing the im200
Decided i wanted an all nem tank and had a friend with approximately 20 nems well as i had 4 looked like a good place to start uppon talking to him he decided to get out of the hobby and i bought him out and took every last thing he had aquarium related tank,stand,equipment,fish, rock , water and there was some equipment from several builds, i sold off the large fish and leathers the day i took his tank down and the rest went into a temporary 75 gallon in my basment
At this point i have a few things left to sell and have already made all of my money back on top of getting a heck of a head start on my next tank to date the items are
2 ai primes (will join the 3 i have)
Full apex setup, core 15 pump, atk and leak detection
Regal 150int skimmer
20 nems
And some brand new red sea testing kids
And remember through some dumb luck everything else i sold off made my money back so everything listed above was.....free.....
Now since i had a 75 holding tank setup i decided to take down the im100 no big deal everything went great another 3 gallons of vinegar later was cleaned up and within 1.5 weeks a new member here bought it and was delivered to chicago as oddly enough i was up their for the auto show and he lived 2 miles from where i was going
So up until last week i had been going back and forth on tanks i decided on the waterbox especially after seeing they had just gotten a small shipment in and for the price i dont have to deal with plumbing ext and can deal more on the controller side of things at this time
So last week i ordered a black waterbox 220.6 plans at this time
Apex with the core 15,ato,ldk and may add some more as i learn it
Regal int skimmer
Maxspect gyres from my last tank
5 ai primes
Need to pick up some heaters
I have a brs reactor and a brs jumbo but i may switch to somthing else
Stocking plans are 90% nems i am going to throw some of my zoas and muchrooms in on their onn little rocks
Fish may include a partial clown harem will need to re home my current pair of darwins and pick up a batch of new ines maybe 10 or so other fish i have currently
Yellow tang
Hippo tang
Tomini tang
4 chromis
Single lone blue damsel
Cleaner and blood shrimp
And a brackish puffer??? Thay was aclimated from my buddies tank and is quite the friendly character
Rock is going to be caribsea liferock ive used it before im thinking a large 24in arch with the mushrooms and a 4 pieces small arch to make an elevated scape that has minimal rock on the sand
Sand i picked up 80lbs of special grade from petco for $80 today was a good deal my 100 was bare bottom and while it worked i wanted some sand so will just be a very shallow sand bed
Few pics of the 100 setup and the current 75 gallon to get started
