FatMike's Tideline 62g Lagoon AIO

[TheWB]

Did you take down your 90 gallon corner tank? I was following the build and didn’t see any posts after the one about the power outage.

yes! I made it through the power outage but I was not happy with the set up. I was going to do some upgrades but ultimately decided to put my focus on a new tank.

what is left is hanging out in a 40g waiting for this to be ready.

I did another thing…..

 

[Fatmike92]

Been going through tons of photos to get some inspiration on what I want to make the tank look like and I finally found it!

Ecotech posted a picture of a tank that spoke to me!

I messed with it a little and added the “volcano” in the middle

 

[Fatmike92]

Had to order new cables to hook up to the reef link and radions. But finally getting those set

unfortunately no progress on the apex energy bar issue

 

[Fatmike92]

yay! replacement part finally came into my LFS for the apex.

ill go grab that when they open today and I should be able to get things rolling!

so plan will be get that installed. then put the tank in place. then hopefully start filling it with RO water!

Your ordered the kraken reef lid for the waterbox to use in your 62? Are the dimensions the same?

No I ordered for the Tideline 62 lagoon

they sent me that as an example of what it would look like

Can I be nosy and ask what the lead time and cost was for it? I'm pretty sure a lid is going to be the next thing I start saving up for

Sent you a PM

Finally!! The replacement worked!

slight scare because it wasn’t powering on when I plugged it in. Thankfully it was just the breaker and I just pushed it in and everything was fine!

and with enviable cord management.

Ha! It has been one of my main focuses

the other mistake I always make is not giving myself enough room to get behind the tank if needed

so this time I’ve made sure I can fit my arm back behind it if needed

 

[Fatmike92]

Going ti start filling it up today to start testing all the equipment

the radions are a little loud when i fans kick into high gear

 

[Fatmike92]

Forgot I had this perfect clip for my ATO!

check that off the list

 

[Fatmike92]

Also getting it filled up!

should be all filled up by the end of tomorrow

 

[Fatmike92]

Tank is up and running!

Right now just testing everything and making sure everything works the way I want it to.

Also making sure everything is in the right spot or if it make sense elsewhere.

So far so good!

@LiverockRocks Live Rock is coming in next Tuesday! Rubble for the back chamber, live sand, and live rock!
