First I ordered my tank and once that arrived I took all the measurements needed to make my stand. Im no expert when it comes to building anything out of wood but I do enjoy it!

Once I got the stand finished up I started working on my Hardscape ideas!

Ended up going with this scape! plan on making a euphyllia garden on the shelf!

Currently right now the tank has just finished going through its cycle and plan on ordering some beginner frags next week and a pair of clownfish! can't wait for all the ups and downs!

I definitely need to work on capturing better photos! I have a mirrorless Sony cam! just need to order a good filter for it and I should be able to capture some way better photos!

Thank you! I was honestly surprised when I noticed how well it was coming out

well for sure a pair of davinci clowns, they should be here next week! And then I was thinking of adding a purple dotty back, sand sifting goby, and some blue green chromis! I’ll slowly add those fish into the aquarium! For sure want some easy care corals too!

I’m considering purchasing this tank. Can you measure the width of the rear chamber? Is it 3” or larger? Thanks in advance.

They’re 3.5in wide, the second chamber is 10in long and the return pump chamber is about 8in long. Where the filter socks go it has a lip on the inside to hold the filter socks so it’s 3in wide. I’m currently looking for a company that can make some custom media holders to replace the filter socks!

I’m going to have to DM him! I assume your tank has similar rear chambers as mine right?

2 month update

I've gone ahead and upgraded from the amazon heater that I initially put in with a IM Helio titanium heater/ controller



Installed a duetto ATO



Some of the livestock that I also added include 2 DaVinci clowns, 5 green chromis, and some hermit crabs





along with that I added about 10 frags along all the scape.



















Currently how the tank sits. going through the uglies right now with diatom bloom and some green algae on the scape work. Order some pods to help with some of that! but ultimately letting the tank run its course!




Still working on trying to take the best photos possible lol! these were definitely better than the last ones I posted lol
