yes! I made it through the power outage but I was not happy with the set up. I was going to do some upgrades but ultimately decided to put my focus on a new tank.
what is left is hanging out in a 40g waiting for this to be ready.

Been going through tons of photos to get some inspiration on what I want to make the tank look like and I finally found it!
Ecotech posted a picture of a tank that spoke to me!
I messed with it a little and added the “volcano” in the middle

Time for a final equipment check
heres my list of equipment. let me know if I am missing anything. I want to get as much as I can upfront before cementing things in place.
Tank: 62g Lagoon AIO
Pumps: Upgraded to SICCE pumps
Lights: (2) Radion XR15s
Powerheads: (2) MP40s
Heater: Finnex Titanium
Controller: Apex
ATO: Tunze Osmolator
ATO Container: 5g Trigger Crystal
Dosing: Kamoer X1
Skimmer: I know I am missing this just not sure what I want to use for this system. whether thats HOB or internal in a chamber.

Your ordered the kraken reef lid for the waterbox to use in your 62? Are the dimensions the same?

No I ordered for the Tideline 62 lagoon
they sent me that as an example of what it would look like
Can I be nosy and ask what the lead time and cost was for it? I'm pretty sure a lid is going to be the next thing I start saving up for

Finally!! The replacement worked!
slight scare because it wasn’t powering on when I plugged it in. Thankfully it was just the breaker and I just pushed it in and everything was fine!

Ha! It has been one of my main focuses
the other mistake I always make is not giving myself enough room to get behind the tank if needed
so this time I’ve made sure I can fit my arm back behind it if needed

Tank is up and running!
Right now just testing everything and making sure everything works the way I want it to.
Also making sure everything is in the right spot or if it make sense elsewhere.
So far so good!
@LiverockRocks Live Rock is coming in next Tuesday! Rubble for the back chamber, live sand, and live rock!

Are you going to keep both vortecs on the same side?
