Jake's 30AIO

[Best Fish-Jake]

I never realized that AIO had its own category[emoji2]. Here's my 30 gal mixed reef. It turns 1 yr old on Memorial Day

Fish stock includes: 2 Wyoming white clowns, swales swissgaurd basslet, starry blenny, and a stippled clingfish[emoji4]

(I also have a 10g mantis tank sitting in the stand underneath as semi seen in the 1st pic)

Is this a IM 30L ?

Yep.. great tank! I'm running a skimmer in the back right chamber, and a small fuge in the 2nd chamber on the left

I might just boil it [emoji6]

^(that was a joke.. please no one boil any rock that has zoas and or palys on it)

Lol. I want one and it has been approved figure it would be something for me besides fishing and something for my one year old to mess with. But the IM 30l stand and tank combo is 650 right now ! So I'm holding out for a big sale lol.

I bought the tank stand alone, then bought a black oak stand that was a bit cheaper. I saved about $50 which is never a bad thing... my LFS actually didn't have the IM stand in stock at the time, lol.

Its a very nice setup, and requires very little maintenance. I highly reccomend getting one, especially if it's your first reef. Keep in mind that the actual display is only about 22 gallons, so you should stick it accordingly. Although it certainly sounds small, it's very spacious

Lighting seems to be the issue with this hobby. THERE ARE TO MANY OPTIONS.

I'd reccomend either hydras or kessils.. I have 2 stop LEDs on mine and it works fine.. 1 54W full LED strip and another half watt LED strip for contrast

Strip LEDs*
