After moving to a new house, and taking my Reefer 425 XL with me (would never move a large tank again, not only do I not have a good spot for it, but I lost my entire SPS collection in the move) I decided to downsize for a little while until we can remodel the house a bit and I can fit a larger tank that I always wanted, so I can house the more collectable fish I'd like to keep. So this gives birth to the shroom room. I have 2 passions in the hobby, fish and mushrooms. I got into mushrooms way before they blew up over the last few years, and have quiet a collection that deserves a dedicated tank (OGs & OG Morphs, Ragnarocks, Plutoniums, Frankesteins, Magic Carpets, Circus, JB & Eclectus, Lucky Charms, ReefKoi, Hells Inferno, Picasso, and the list goes on...). So welcome to Vlad's Shroom Room.
This build is a work in progress, I am looking for suggestions on how it can be made better. This is also my smallest SW tank. I had smaller freshwater tanks, but all my reefs were 75g and up, with 4-foot minimum footprint.
Current setup:
Tank: Waterbox all-in-one cube, 50g I believe, 24x24x20.
Return Pump: Sicce 1.5. This may need to be upgraded, looking for recommendations. I had great luck with Jebao over the years so may go that way.
Light: Radion XR15 Pro Gen 4
ATO: Tunze + Storage container in the stand, direct-plumbed into RODI. This still needs to be proven out, not even sure if I can fit the storage container into the stand.
Heater: BRS titanium with controller
Potential equipment add-ons:
Skimmer: Tunze nano skimmers - do I need a skimmer???
Algae Scrubber: custom designed and 3D printed Algae Scrubber
What else? I am sure I am forgetting something!!!
