New member here. I have been in the hobby for 5 years now and in the past was active on another forum. Over the last year I purchased a house and my IM Lagoon 25 took a back seat while I worked on the house, Though there is still plenty of work to do on the house I finished the living room recently and decided it was time to set up the new tank.
Before I get into the new tank I thought I would just share a few photos of my previous tanks.
3.5g Pico
Cadlights 15g
Fluval Evo 13.5g
IM Lagoon 25g
On to the new tank.
The tank is an IM Nuvo EXT micro 30l (36" x 15" x 13") which has ext Herbie overflow with two 1" drain holes and a 3/4" return. I decided to build my own stand as I wanted a door with a glass panel to view the center chamber of the sump. it is going to be a display in itself as a planted macro refugium.
