Sweet! Got that spray bar too. Looks great, cant wait to see this bad boy all grown

Going to my LFS today to pick up some fittings today to make the spray bar line up with the back wall of the tank( I think it'll look better).
Also picking up my box of Fritz Pro Salt, waiting on a DC 2000-2500 and I'll probably be picking up a bottle of Dr. Tims to assist in the cycle.


BTW, if anyone buys one of these tanks you should know that the stock pump is EXTREMELY loud. It was louder than my 80, I thought it was because the stand is hollow it could be causing problems but its not. I went ahead and replaced the return with a maxi jet and it is now silent. Its just really unfortunate that of all things to cheap out on they would choose a desktop aquarium's pump. With the noise it makes you could not put this on any desktop.
I'm sure I can replace the suction cups on the other one and do something with it but at his point its just going to become a water change pump.

Yea the lagoon pump was super loud too it's bad when you hear it over a hob skimmer . I even had food grade rubber surrounding it . I got a small eheim and it's dead quiet now . I have 2 rw 4 on back wall and stock pump was louder than everything ..awesome scape ...love it

So awesome! Do you have more details on the spray bar? Also, did you get more coverage with the Radion over the Kessil?

My partner in crime didn't want to move for me to take pictures so I had to improvise

I love your scape, it's like a Nano version of mine

Here is what it looks like after I put it on the right way (actually got the supplies I needed lol)

IMO I did that pretty well, almost looks like the tank came that way

Looks awesome!

Somewhat update

I'm waiting on a Jebao DC pump but apparently shipping things in from china is slow. Also using old ceramic media from my old tank worked excellently lol

Looks great. What are your stocking plans for this one? Have you looked into aquaforest bio s to help cycle your tank? Just did it with mine and it was done cycling in 2 weeks.

Tons of corals, some shrimp and a candy bass
I try not to complicate my life with new methods... I'm never home sadly

I like that tank!

Thanks!!!

That sounds like a crazy good plan
What type of coral do you prefer? Or ist it going to be a mixed reef?

Updates:
I've been testing and we have nitrates!!! So I got some "tester" corals back in from the amazing, wonderful, beautiful people that are holding them for me.
Did a water change (with Fritz)
Put chromis in here. They're rocking out!
Tomorrow I'm going to bring a tiny little CUC for the tank.

This will probably be what I get
5 x Astrea(handpicked, tiniest I can find)
20 x Blue leg( Tiny)
1 x Money Cowrie
4 x Nerite
4 x Cerith
30 x Nassarius Vibex

No one in there should mess with the actual stock of the tank


Here are some pictures!
Looks like more than it actually is
