'Tis An Innovative Marine 50 Lagoon Build

I picked up the IM 50 INT lagoon during the sale also, I wish I had gotten the sump but I am really happy with the tank

They didn't have the sump then. Did you get the one with the sump? I see that is all they offer now. I thought they were clearing them out when I ordered mine. Must have just been a change where now they have the sump.

This is an AIO which I kind of regret but we’ll see how it goes. I’ve been wanting this tank for years and after going with a reefer 525 and some other tanks I decided this was manageable with my lifestyle

The catfish inspected the glass for quality last night and I started on the scape. It needs SO much work

Oh ok. Ya I got the one drilled for a sump but it didn't come with their new sump. I thought they were clearing them out to discontinue them and had always loved the dimensions. Such a good tank.

I think so too! I can’t wait to play with the scape tonight

Tank is up! The bucket on the floor is my media cycling and the cats have officially proven that they cannot be trusted I’ll be ordering a sturdier lid this week. Any suggestions?

Tank is filling up (slowly) and I really wish I had bought a booster pump LOL!
Going to check the media and see if it’s cycled already.
Kraken lid has been designed and I’m just waiting on an email from them to confirm dimensions.
I’ll be ordering some wet sides for my MPs, an RMS rail and some wire management stuff soon.

Cat fish is supervising the fill

Glad to see water is in there and it's cycling!

Media is showing nitrite and I added a second larger dose of turbo start. Once I salt the tank I’ll do another round of ammonia and turbo into the main tank and then go from there

Hi! Thanks for reaching out. I modified my desk to make it more difficult for the cats to play on top of this so I think I should be good.
If not the nurf gun will have to learn them a lesson!
