Wanted to go sandless, but seems like BB always causes stability issues for me. So because it’s going to be a nem-focused tank, I put in a thin layer of special grade.

I’m moving end of the month so I will probably let the tank sit and mature as-is before doing much more in the next few weeks

I really like the scape. Are you going to make an aluminum profile stand for it or go with something different? Your article on the stands was great.

Thanks, no this one came with the standard bio cube stand so I’m using it. I just recently built a little stand for a IM15 I’ll put somewhere else in the new place if/when I repurpose that tank



nice. is that metal? i ended up using 2x4 and 2x6 and its indestructible but bulky.

Nice!! I have a Tenecor 17 gallon prototype peninsula tank that they ultimately did not make part of their line up laying around that will eventually need a stand. I may bug you for some advice. Those little 15 gallon IM tanks are sweet.

I ended up gutting the hood internals and mounting an AI blade Grow 12”. Should be sufficient for anything I want to keep, but I might mount a blade Glow if I find one cheap…

I'm curious to see how much more fluorescence there is out of the glow.
