Innovative Marine 100 gallon Build

[Shannon Califf]

Whats up guys. So I figured I would show you guys my build. Unfortunately everything is already up and running and I really wish i had started this thread as I went along. So I started off in the hobby with a 32 gallon biocube32. A few months in I realized I really loved the hobby and wanted to go bigger. So I bought a 100 gallon Innovative marine Int. It has a internal bean animal overflow which I love. Its very quiet

The overflow does take away from some of the space in the tank which kinda sucks. These tanks and stands are pretty expensive but the craftsmanship and quality is top of the line. I highly recommend these aquariums and stands

Equipment used

Lighting

Kessil A360we with spectral controller. I only have 1 at the moment but plan on getting 1 or 2 more once I start growing coral

Flow

1 Icecap 3k
2 current usa eflux 660gph powerheads. I plan on upgrading this in the near future. I only added these on the otherside of the tank for alittle flow

Filtration

1 Reef Octopus essence 150

My sump is a 3615 Bashsea Smart series

Fish Stock So Far

1 Melanurus wrasse
1 Blue jaw Triggerfish
2 ocellaris clownfish
1 Foxface Rabbitfish
1 cleaner shrimp

Well... tell me what you guys think. Would love any questions, comments or concerns. Im fairly new to the hobby so any advice would be awesome. I plan on doing alot with this build. In the next month or two I plan to start adding some soft corals. I plan on doing a fully stocked mixed reef. I will continue to update you guys with the progress of the tank and of course add lots of pics lol

Hello Again Jason

The new tank looks beautiful. I love the view from the side panel. The rock placement is perfect for circulation and viewing.

Go slow adding new stuff.

So this is a pretty old thread, but it has great photos of the IM 100 that I am considering. My question is with the plumbing. Did you have to do all of the plumbing yourself from the bean animal to the sump? I'm also considering Waterbox and I do not believe you have to do any extra plumbing for it.

What is your sump volume?

Any thoughts from anyone on the IM 100 Int vs a WB 110.4 MarineX? Anything I should consider before finalizing my choice? Really like the fact the IM has a bit larger DT volume 100 vs about 80.

Yes you do have to do all the plumbing. It also does not come with a sump but to me thats a good thing because it allows you to choose the one u want

Awesome build, I really like the open rockscape setup! I too have the INT 100 tank and started mine up in June, so far I am really loving it. How have things been coming along with it, any coral additions yet?
