c0ralista’s ESHOPPS Mariner 100 :)

[c0ralista_]

Hi everyone, my name is Leianne and recently became the proud new owner of an ESHOPPS Mariner 100!

I’ll update soon with more details; just wanted to quickly introduce myself and say hey!

Hey Leianne, long time no see. Nice PBT and tank build. Will you be by Rap Cali this year?

 

[Daniel@R2R]

Awesome!! I follow you on IG! Glad to see you joining in the fun here at R2R as well!!

 

[AlyciaMarie]

Welcome, and beautiful tank! I love the art you have up behind it, too.

Hey! Thanks so much, saw him at my LFS and he had to come home with me! Unfortunately will not be at Cali this year but definitely in the future.

Oh hi IG friend!! I haven’t been on a forum in years (was an old mod of another forum back in the day); this already feels like home

Welcome, and beautiful tank! I love the art you have up behind it, too.

Thanks so much for the warm welcome! My algae poster was a gift from a friend and the jellyfish and seahorse I grabbed from a local show.

Hey from instagram! Being jealous of yours until mine gets here

Beautiful set up. Just today I learned about the difficulty of the Blue Powder

Beautiful tank! Can't wait to see more.

That tank doesn't look new

Well, the stuff in it I mean

Did that stuff all come from a previous system?

Howdy! I’m so excited that you’re getting one too! Also a 100?

Thanks! Mine seems to be doing okay so far, fingers crossed!

Thank you so much; I’ll try to share more soon

I’d say 75% of the coral in there is from my old system, the rest are new stuff that I’ve gotten since the end of June. The powder blue, pearly jawfish, and yellow coris wrasse are new fish, the rest came from my old system as well.

Yup a 100 also! Wish I could have went up to the 130 though. 100 is still a good step up from my 38 gallon now. Hopefully it shows up this week. I went ahead and did the prep on all my new hydros things. Did some of the scheduling and things on it.
Finishing up the rock work today. Had to wait on more moldable rock to get here. Didn’t order near enough of it.

Quick unboxing of some new tech for this build! Tech is not my strong point but Hydros touts itself as being user friendly so we’ll see how this goes!

Thank you so much, that means a lot to me!

Thank you, you can tell what my weakness is hahaha

Not the BEST pics but just wanted to show you all where the Hydros is living in the sump; definitely makes things look more festive in there!

In terms of setup, its been mostly a breeze. Ran into a bit of a hiccup getting the X10 on my wifi but it was only because between my main channel and my multiple wifi extenders, the device was struggling to connect to one of them but once I designated the correct channel, everything fell into place

As of now, I have the ATO kit and leak rope sensor kit hooked in, and will be working on the rest over the next few months!

Big thanks to @Connor At CoralVue for helping me troubleshoot!

Your sump is also a disco?

Some recent acquisitions: are we still calling these acans? I find I am always corrected either way, depending on who I am speaking to lol.

Beautiful tank and sump. You are talented!!

Can't wait to see some FTS from this month
