I love that structure! Is that a custom or the standard 15 hole? Lee @Aquarocks does nice work! Have several of his pieces.

What are you using for filtration?

 

[ptrusk]

The IM caddy with floss and GAC filled remainder with Marinepure gems from a mature system. Second chamber filled with rubble from same mature system. Bag of siporax in the bottom empty space in 3rd chamber.

I upgraded pump to Jebao DCW-1500. The IM standard was kinda loud and weak. Hygger mini wavemaker.

Think I’m gonna print a cage for media in second camber. Other then that might upgrade the return pump at a future date.

Another thing to consider is a cover for the "sump". Getting turf algae growing there. I have a piece of ABS somewhere that I was going to look for tonight to cut a cover.

Nice tank!

In my 20g nano cube I run 3 media baskets. 1 filled with matrix 2 filled with eheim substrate pro.
I also use a similar basket for filter floss.
Looking forward to seeing this build progress!

Very nice looking system. Keep it going with lots of pics.

What powerhead are you using

 

[Blue Spot Octopus]

No such thing as a free puppy/kitten. Lots like you got your feet wet again and it is looking good. I just upgraded my 12" cube tank to the IM Fusion 15, I set it up last night.

ugh could you a media basket or filter cup for the tideline 31 AIO? The socks are rectangle 3x5 mesh. They're very hard to find and a huge PITA. Not many options out there for replacement pieces. PM me a price if you're up for it.
