ereefs IM50 Lagoon

[ereef]

Hey All,

I love this site. I've learned so much in the 2.5 years I've been in the saltwater tank world.

I guess it's time to show my little slice of the ocean.

Tank: IM50 Lagoon
Lighting: Originally 4 bulb ATI T5, Now 1 Kessil A360x
Skimmer: IM Ghost Skimmer
Dosing: kH and Ca. Occasionally Mg
ATO: Tunze 5017
Controller: Originally ReefKeeper Lite, now Neptune Apex
Flow: IceCap Gyre

I set up the tank in Aug 2016. Definitely had some ups and downs, but it has been a great experience. Any way, on with the pics.

I built the stand with a concrete top. Way more work than I expected.

Thank you so much! It is a great tank. I have the itch to upgrade to something bigger, but that won't be for a while.
