Hello all!
More so just doing this for fun feel free to follow along. Over the next few months I’m going to be actively working on building a dream mini tank in my apartment. My end goal is to make it a mostly sps tank with a few softies or hammers to fill in gaps. Eventually the long term goal is to upgrade over time and transfer this tank to a 160 gallon or so in a house I will purchase down the road.
I’ve successfully started and maintained many all acro tanks with the help of friends and this forum along the way!
Its been about 2 years sense I had my 75 gallon all acro tank and I’m back at it again. I’ll have plenty of questions and things I might try. I hope to post almost weekly with updates and questions for yall to help me decide.
Currently all I have is a 25 gallon brand new Waterbox and some old dry dead rock from the last few tanks. I’m considering starting over with all new rock or maybe trying to pick up some live stuff. I might even experiment with some filter sock adjustments and modifications so we shall see
I have plenty of time I’m in no rush so I can make this thing perfect and hopefully avoid some of those issues we all get when we rush.
Tank will be light with an AI PRIME 16hd judge all you want but I actually did a 75 gallon all acro tank with 4 of these suckers running so I know it works.
Next step is to build a stand myself and one that the wife will enjoy and approve of.
Feel free to drop any comments or suggestions let’s talk about ideas and aquascaping or anything under the hobby realm for that matter.
Thanks again! And I hope you follow along.

. I used it to seed frags for my 200g. Hope to see you do the same for your 160! IME with this tank, if you're keeping high light acros like tenuis, milli, and tabling pieces, you'll want more light than a single 16hd. you'll need 2 of them or a different model. If you're growing caps, stylo, birds nest etc ... It will be fine. Can't wait to see you pics!
