the sump and overflow are coming in the mail soon. same with the skimmer.

I am looking for suggests for livestock around marine inverts, montipora, and clams
I have a conch and Midas blenny already, im looking for some odd ball inverts that would work well with this.

I also have some pencil urchins that came on my live rock should i move these to the sump when the corals start to be added?

I’m in the middle of setting up a lagoon 25 as well and have been shopping for a stand. I’ve considered the vanity you are using? What are your thoughts? Does it seem sturdy enough for long term use? Thanks!

its real nice. i don't think any reinforcement is needed. i mean 25 is only like 300lbs max

Finally a stand with the right dimensions that doesn’t cost $300. Just ordered the same for my IM NUVO 40 after seeing this post, thanks!

Can I ask what the reasoning is for using an overflow box and sump on AIO aquarium and how that will work with the built in chamber?

The skimmer wouldn’t fit back there

How is the light working out? I am really considering the AP700.

Its great for a one light tank like the IM 25 if you were ganna do more than one light i wouldn't get a ap700.
App is also a little wonky but not impossible to figure out

Did you add any reinforcement to the vanity? Was considering using one

so I also have a 25 and I’ve been wanting to add a sump. curious on what steps you did in adding the overflow. My concern is maintaining consistent water levels. Did you remove the rear chambers?
