Hello everyone,
I started on the saltwater aquarium hobby about a year ago with a cheap 10 gallon tank from Petco an some live rock from a LFS. I instantly wanted to upgrade, and so I found this guy selling a whole setup (a 74 gallon) on Facebook for a really good price and I decided to buy it. I instantly regretted it since I didn't have enough space for it, so I decided to sell the tank and keep all the equipment. I then downgraded to a drilled Nuvo 20 and used all the equipment from the 74 gallon. I was still a beginner and didn't understand a lot of things of the hobby so I decided to sell it and get an AIO. The AIO I went for was a Waterbox 20. It was the perfect tank for what I wanted it. Then my landlord found out about the tank and told me that anything over 10 gallons needs renter's insurance and pay a non-refundable $250 deposit and then pay $25 a month for the "pet". So I decided to downgrade and I purchased a used IM Fusion 10 with the white stand and I wanted to share my progress of the build here.
Equipment so far:
-Kessil A360X Tuna Blue
-MP10
-IM media basket
-IM desktop skimmer
-Apex Pro + DOS
-The rest is stock
Current Livestock (added a week ago)
-Frostbite Clownfish
-Blacker Ice Clownfish
-Green Ricordea Florida
-Some clean-up crew
Current Plan
-Start using ATI Elements Pro
-Add GSP in the back wall, a candy cane, a pavona, a mushroom, a chalice, and some zoas
The pictures are not the best, but this is what I currently have
Any advice or help would be appreciated or just tag a long for the build progress.
