Hi there! I’ve been interested in of the aquarium hobby for about 20 years now. It all started when I got my first tank as a kid, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ve had all sorts of tanks, from a tiny 5g to massive 180g SA Cichlid tank, and everything in between. There was one major disaster that happened 3 years ago. My 125g tank had a hose blow off the outlet of my canister filter, and the contents of the tank spilled all over my floor in the middle of the night. Talk about a nightmare! Killing a rather large Oscar, a beautiful Gold Saum, and 3 blueberry silver dollars. That experience scared me out of the hobby for 3 years.

Now, I’m back and I’m excited to share my first reef tank with you. IM SR60 pro2, that’s been up for 8 months now and it’s helping me get back into the swing of things!

Welcome to R2R. Former South Bend resident here (born and raised). Nice hydros collective there. Is that a controller board for it? Homemade?
Born and raised in Portage here!

Nope it’s CoralVues own board. I had big ideas that just didn’t get implemented right so it’s definitely not up to my OCDs standards.

Looks a heck of a lot better than my rats nest. Nice setup you got going there.

Thanks! Pretty much tried not to make any compromises. Only one is the skimmer since there aren’t really many options for AIO.

Ended up going with a Magtool N100 Plus which is the absolute largest that’s gonna fit. Works great with my definitely not oversized recirculating CO2 scrubber.
