CLT - Landen 60P AIO - 26g

Okay so jumping back in after years out. I wanted to post about this tank/stand since when doing my research I couldn't find much about them. Attached are the stock photos of the tank. $299 for the tank and $299 for the stand off Amazon, free shipping. For this size tank it was one of the better deals I could find.

Probably the best shipping/packing job I’ve seen in a tank that didn’t ship on a pallet.

Nice tank! How’s the quality of the stand?

Stand is MDF, but super easy to put together. Also comes with rubber mat attached to the tank top, and the inside bottom of the stand. Nice touch. So far it seems to be solid.

Another interesting thing about this Landen aquarium is the AIO filtration dividers are dark/black glass. In the past tanks I had the filtration dividers were all some type of acrylic, and the back glass panel was always clear. I like the glass filtration dividers, seems like an upgrade, but the back glass I was hoping would be clear, or maybe just a piece of black laminate on the back.

I wanted to use one of the filtration chambers as a refugium with a Nano-glo or Acke led light shining through the rear. I really don't want an over the top light. Any suggestions for a fuge light that is maybe drop in, or submersible? The back panel is somewhat see through, but I don't think enough to grow macro through it.

Just got some rock in from Premium Aquatics. I got the below pieces off their site for anyone who is trying to compare how it looks online with what you receive. I would say first impression I am very impressed. These 3 pieces seem to be the perfect fit for this size aquarium also.

Tropic Eden Morroca Rock - Irregular Branch 10"-12"
$25.91

Tropic Eden Morroca Branch Rock - Tripod Long Stem 10"-12"
$35.09

Tropic Eden Morroca Rock - Shrub Branch 15"-16"
$59.39

Here is the return pump that came with the Landen tank. I wasn't sure what to expect since I have never heard of this brand. First impression is this pump is amazing. It has little controller that can change to rate of from 1-10, has a feeding mode, and a wavemaker mode where it fluctuates from 1 to 10 flow speed. I just filled up with water and put in some sand, so not really sure yet if the amount of flow at 10 will be enough yet.

Got the rock and sand in. Water still a little cloudy. The sand is Caribsea Bimini Pink

Very cool set up!

Updated with a barnacles cluster added. Can’t get a decent picture with lights on. Probably need that orphek light filter.

Updated tank shot. Got some corals and a YWG and pistol shrimp. Thinking I might let the floating rock just become a zoa garden.

Matt2939 · Mar 15, 2024

Got some barnacle blennies and a hectors goby. The blennies and serpent star both want to call the barnacles home

For anyone considering this tank, I found it on AliExpress for $220. Psyched for a new build. Nice looking setup. Following...

I have a 65p (26g) and cabinet that should be arriving this Saturday. How are you liking the AI Prime on this tank? I know the 26g has a 24" length so I'm wondering if one fixture would have enough spread for my setup.

I personally think the Ai Prime16 is more than enough for this size tank. I will only be keeping softies and LPS though. Here is my current lighting schedule. I started a lot higher intensity, and then had to keep back down until torch looked happy.
