Veselym's 25G IM Fusion Lagoon

[veselym]

I have been wanting an AIO tank for the "Man Cave" in the downstairs living room...after I saw the lagoon/shallow reefs coming out from IM, I knew it would be the one

I was originally going to go with the fusion 40 but wanted more depth, especially in a nano reef so waited for the 25g to hit the market.

First impressions of the tank are: The build quality is top notch, everything looks super clean with zero leaks/issues during the test. Silicone work is on point with zero bubbles, you get the mat already attached to the bottom and good sized chambers for all sorts of media/skimmers/reactors...The tank is 24X20X12 with around 17' of depth

equipment will be as follows:

Lighting: Kessil A 160we w/gooseneck and controller
Flow: MP10 QD
Reef Keeper Light
Tunze nano ATO


I will be running a softy tank with no skimmer/doser as this was meant to be a "low cost" tank...I do have a 55G reef upstairs that is the main tank

Here are some pictures with more updates to come, I did build the stand and am waiting on the ATO, light, rock and such

Update, only thing about this tank I do not like is the pump...it is really loud, louder than my 680gph in the 55G

might have to buy a MaxiJet 1200 and replace it

Got the Kessil in today and absolutely love it...sleek and has great coverage along with very easy to setup with the controller/gooseneck

here are some pictures

Looks good... I have a IM 30L and a IM 10 and love them. I ended up adding a CPR overflow to a sump to add extra volume and an oversized skimmer. Good luck and enjoy. Welcome to the IM club.

Nice!!!

 

[veselym]

Thanks! Good idea to add a sump, I want this to be a nutrient rich softy tank so no skimmer for me

ordered my rock and ATO today...put a small rock from my 55G sump in the tank and have been throwing food in everyday

here is a sweet picture of my 55G...it is my sig pic

Very nice system! What kind of wood is the stand made of?

 

[veselym]

Sorry didn't see this...it is mostly half inch plywood from home depot that I stained, used 2X4 framing on the inside and behind the door

Might have to get a different light or another kessil, it is cranked to 80% and zoas are still reaching
