Hello everyone! If you're reading this, thanks for stopping by. I have been out of the hobby for a few years and am excited to be back. My last running tank was a 125 gallon, 6' long tank. It's still in my basement although not running at the moment. I have all my equipment for it, in case I decide to restart it.
In the meantime, I have decided to start again with a smaller tank. My living room is very small so space is at a premium. I also wanted to get something that looks really nice so I started looking into the rimless and cube tanks. My LFS had one of these "AQUATOP Recife ECO 40 Gallon Tank" but it wasn't on any sale. I checked on facebook and, as luck would have it, someone just took down their tank and was selling it with all of their gear!
I wasn't planning on ever getting an AIO tank but I'll admit, I sure love it. Not having a sump below the tank is very helpful. So far this is what I have:
The tank and stand, of course.
I have my 3 kessil a360we lights and a single gen 4 radion xr-15 pro.
Nero 5 powerhead.
Inkbird wireless temp controller & 500w titanium heater.
Icecap k1 nano skimmer (not plugged in yet).
Two kamoer wifi micropumps (not used yet).
Flipper scraper for the glass.
Some kind of tunze ATO (not set up yet)
My back compartment: my heater, then media baskets. Top has filter floss, 2nd has carbon infused media. 3rd has 2 bio spheres that were extra. 4th basket has 13 bio spheres
I have old reef rock from my last tank. I used the marco-rock cement to make some structures. I later added some pieces of live rock from tampa bay saltwater to it.
I started off with a fine sugar white sand. I bought live sand from TBS and I LOVE it! Beautiful sand.
Right now one Kessil is set above my tank. The used tank also came with a gen 4 radion xr-15 pro. I'd like to use both the radion and a single kessil. I love, LOVE, my kessil lights and the beautiful shimmer that they provide. I hear such great things about radion lights and think it could also work well. I haven't found a lot about
I'll attach a couple of pictures here. Long first post but I will keep updating as time goes! Once I get my nice nikon camera out I will have much better pictures.
