Sweet tank! Looks like Christmas in May over there. I love the IM tanks, they are so well built. Following along. Go check out my IM 14g Fusion build.

Sweet, getting closer! Those drop off tanks are sexy. I think that'll be my next adventure when I get my 14g SPS all set up. Still have some equipment to buy to get everything automated.

I just watched Inappropriate Reefer's video about the Frogfish in his drop off, and well, now I want(need) one. My fiancée even said that it would be a cool fish to have, and she told me I had to stop after I just set up my third tank. In my defense, I only have two saltwater tanks. The other one is an extremely low maintenance planted betta tank.

LOL love frog fish. Would be a nice setup.

Rock work done! Getting it filled now.

Love the tonga branch with the shelves. Looks good!

 

[Aquarius]

Thanks! I'm pretty happy about it as well. Thinking about an acro on the center shelf and a rainbow montipora on the shelf directly below it. Then various mushrooms on the sand. Bought that live rock from my lfs for 49.99 for a filled 5 gallon bucked. They had pukani, tonga, lace. Some of the rocks had rics on them got 7-8 in total and either a flower or carpet nem. Pretty stoked. Rock was curing for weeks already at the lfs so my cycle may be shorter than usual.

I bought random pieces of rock at one of my LFS. I got a couple nice looking pieces and tried to stack them in the tub he had them in. My cycle was non existent. The rocks had been in a tank with fish for a long while and had plenty of bacteria to add my one tiny fish once the water cleared from the sand.

Using the A80 for my frag tank and waiting for an ap700 to switch them over so I can add a couple of corals to the nano. Going to hold off on anymore fish for awhile until the list is finalized. Got to add the cuc soon. Only planning on a couple more small species. Then some coral.

Coming along nicely! Have you had any issues with bowing on this tank?
