Hi,

That sounds like a big AIO,. Waiting for the pics. I like the list except the Kole and Purple, personally. Just not enough length for them to swim. The flame tang/ tomini for sure. I like the anthias, just keep up the feedings.

Delivered today

leveled and fought with my tiles for a bit now just rinsing the sand for the night and throwing the rodi pump in before bed

Love those dimensions... it’s 14” high, right? So about 12” of water taking into account the overflow? Who built it for you?

 

[josvanmeer]

where did you get that custom AIO made? and what did it cost? That's exactly the size me and the ms. are looking for

 

[chriss1992]

I wouldn't recommend the tank builder so I won't name drop him. Communication was shoddy and the tank had several scratches on one side. No dimensions were given on the AIO section and when I emailed about how I wanted it set up he never confirmed measurements with me so I pretty much have to Jerry rig the refugium portion with egg crate so I can still use a sand bed in there with a skimmer. The tanks thick and it will hold up I'd assume but it's rough to say the least in my opinion

 

[chriss1992]

Update coming tonight by the way

 

[josvanmeer]

That's sad to hear. I hope you will still enjoy your tank!

Hmmmm..... Well you may not want to "name drop" but others will get burned too. Give credit where credit is due. Would like to see some close ups of the tank and maybe a description of the flaws you see.

I scaped it today little too much Rock but I hate wasting rock. I filled the back wall two rocks high with some room for sps and made a little tidal pool area which I may adjust or move and placed a few scattered rocks around. It looks kind clumsy in some areas will reassess tomorrow and get pictures

Out of curiousity, why did you go all in one? That stand looks like it's screaming for a sump! Could always drain it, cut out the AIO section, and drill it ;Happy

How far in does the back wall/fuge/overflow come in?

Just didn't want to manage the sump I have to use tank sitters with my health and explaining an AIO is much easier I think. It's only 5.5 inches deep it spans across the whole tank refugium being about 30 inchs maybe longer

Progress pics are a great way to tell if you like the before or the after better! We wanna see!

I'll have to get more pictures later was Jerry rigged the skimmer today and had to redo the AIO section return pump. Lost the diamond goby before I made the lid today as well unfortunately
