New to me tanks

[Jeeper]

I just recently, in the past few weeks picked up a couple gently used tanks. I got a 30 gallon breeder from Kinny for a great price to replace my AIO 20 jbj I have been using as a frag tank and invertibrate quarantine tank for the last few years. I wanted something with more volume that I could put a sump on and restart without substrate. I drilled it for the overflow and return (first time drilling one and it worked out great). I have it in my garage (fish room) and will be hooking the chiller up to it as the room is not temperature controlled.

Nice! Looking forward to it coming together!

My second new to me tank is a 54 gallon corner. Currently my 45 gallon sits in the corner of my bedroom and probably gets viewed more than my 75 gallon as it is in the front of the house in a room that doesn't get used as much (I read on the couch in there). Currently when I'm sitting in bed looking at the tank I see

The tank is a reef savvy and wonderfully built but there is an seem directly in the middle of my view. I have kept my eyes on CL for a used corner tank and one showed up last week for $150. I'm probably going to build a stand for it as the light color pine clashes with the cherry colored furniture and hard wood floors in the room. I slid a 10 gallon in the stand and a 5 gallon ato and they both fit. I am thinking about the eshopps nano cube or RS-75 sump for it.

Nice pickups! Really like that 30g frag tank. What is your plan for the AIO 20G?

 

[Jeeper]

I will be selling the AIO and the 45 eventually. I have to do the plumbing on them both first, build a stand for the 54 or reskin the existing one, and then move livestock. They both have marine pure block or balls, so I'm hoping that makes it an easy transition.

Dibs on that jbj! Lol

Nice finds! I'll take the jbj if @Reefrookie220 doesn't, lol.

I got the 30 up and running I measured water as I filled it and the total volume was 46 gallons. I'm not quite done with the set up yet. I have the ports for the chiller and the media reactors plugged (media reactor hose kept leaking at the valve so I'm going to have to get a new one).

Realized I didn't have enough salt to make up this tank and do my water changes today ;Facepalm

It might seem unrelated but I rehung the door to my fish room today. Took the trim off cut the nails that held the door frame and flipped it around and reinstalled. Now I don't have to deal with the door hitting anything I put behind it.
