Hey everyone,

I got myself a beautiful 25G Innovative Marine Lagoon. I've always loved the look of these low profile tanks. I will say I wish the silicone seams were like my waterbox where the silicone is just in between the glass. Imo it looks a little nicer that way and now I have to be more careful when scraping the glass to avoid touching the silicone. I also noticed a couple tiny scratches on the glass, not sure if they came on there or it happened from moving the tank onto the stand. But it's not something I plan to complain to IM about.

Sunday around noon I picked up some rocks and built a scape (really happy about the way it came out btw). By 4-5 PM I finally got her wet.

The plan is an SPS dominant tank. Which will be a journey for me since it's my first time keeping SPS, aside from a couple easy frags.


Just wanted to share with you guys, thanks for looking!

heck yeah! I have been looking at those tanks for years.
I am ( at some point) finishing out my basement and was dreaming of 3 of these tanks.
1 for softies
1 SPS
1 for nems or meats. prob. meats.

what stand did you use?

That would be awesome! I wish I had a basement, if probably do the same

The stand I made out of 2x4 and plywood from HD. Next tank I'll probably look into getting something custom made. Building this stand turned out to be a nightmare. For what I spent money and time wise I could have got something much nicer custom made for a bit more $.

I agree I have built a few stands over the years. they came out OK but nothing great.
