IM 30L at the 1 year mark

mta_morrow · Nov 16, 2016

Hello all,
It's now been 1 year since I added water to my 1st ever tank. It has quickly become a passion / obsession even with all the ups and downs that come with this. I am relatively new to this forum and am spending a lot more time on it reading, learning, or just following along. I have received a lot of help and insight from my local reef club (WORC) which to me has been priceless.

Here is a link to a video of my tank at the 1 year mark.

I would love to have questions or comments

Nice! I'm starting up my 30L soon. Where's your build thread? Do you have one?

I didn't do a true build thread. I wish I would have. Next tank I will! Can't wait to see yours. Please feel free to ask any questions and I will help if I can!

Me too, I'm getting sick of looking at the empty tank in my living room! But I'm being indecisive and it's taking longer than I originally thought. I actually ended up with the Nuvo Black 30L which is the non AIO version. I'm not sure if I want/need a sump, and if so I have to either drill it (have no idea how) or get a HOB overflow which can be risky, as I've read.

This is only my second tank, and my first one was a cheap as can be, so lots of upgrading to do (lots of money too bleh). I started a thread on a different forum but it's kinda dead there so maybe I'll move on over here.
