Tideline 49 AIO

[cowdenreef7]

Hey all, first time posting a build thread here. I am always scrolling through for inspiration and ideas. Thought it would be fun to share my journey over the last 2.5 years with this tank.

Started up in the hobby early on in 2020 with a 36 gal bow front. It was a fairly simple setup. Filtration was a fluval 207 canister along with a fluval hob skimmer. Lighting was a fluval reef light along with a 36” reef Brite atinic blue light. Had my ups and downs with this set up.

Ended up moving so that meant it was a good excuse for a bigger and newer tank. I ended up stumbling upon a Tideline 49 AIO from a lfs. It was a perfect size for what I wanted.

It's a great tank, beautiful corals. Looks like you have a mixed reef, with sps. The lighting approach must be working for you.

Thanks! The two Reef Brites made a huge difference, especially when the AI primes switch over to a heavy blue at night. They make the coral colors pop out like crazy.
