Another build thread in less than 4 months. Lol, didnt expect to upgrade tanks for a while, but couldnt pass up the deal I got on this used tank. So I currently have running, a 14 gallon IM peninsula and I am going to transfer over all the rock corals and fish into this 50 gal.
Before I do that, I really want to take my time with cleaning the used tank and getting the insides of the stand exactly how I want it. Planning on doing somewhat of a DIY controller board so that you cant see a single wire. I also want to take my time with the NSA aquascape. I had some regrets with the 14 gal's scape and I want to get this one right from the start (Better fish habitat / better shelving for more optimal coral placement).
As far as equipment goes....
Lighting : Add a second AI prime.
Return Pump(s) : Mighty Jet 538 / Mighty jet 326 (One pump per nozzle)
Flow : 2x Nero 3's + returns
ATO: Ice Cap + 10 gal aqueon resevoir
Heater : BRS w/ inkbird controller
Skimmer : CAD LIGHTS PLS-50
Here is my current tank as it sits... 14 gal im peninsula
Here is the New tank when I first picked it up...
Then after some cleaning!!
Then after a bit of scapinig!!! Note... the other half of the tank will consist of the scape from the 14 gal. Also, will have a sandbed.
Then put some smart lights inside the stand...
