I've been out of the hobby for a few years. Finally ready to started again and here's my setup:
Tank: Innovative Marine Lagoon 25
Stand: DIY Ikea Silveran Cabinet (https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10270770/)
Rock: Vidarock Centerpiece (https://aqua-tecture.com/collection...darock-centerpiece-1054?variant=7534083276830)
Light: AI Hydra 26 HD
Tropic Eden miniflakes substrate (still to be added)
Tunze ATO w/ 12~ gallon pet food container as reservoir
Innovative Marine Desktop Skimmer
Cobalt Neotherm 100w
Syncra silent 1.0 return pump
Still to buy:
Apex Jr mostly as failsafe for heater
MP10QD
The idea behind this tank is to have mostly everything I want as far as equipment and to keep the look as clean/minimal as possible. I haven't put much thought into the livestock but will probably end up as a mixed reef with a few fish.
I got some liverock from the LFS to start the cycling process. I'm still waiting on the sand to get here and I will probably drain the water to put in the sand. Anyone think I should get some fish food or bottled bacteria? I'm thinking it is not really necessary to start the cycle.
There is some sort of crack/scratch on one corner of the tank that I've been watching closely to see if it spreads. I'm still not 100% sure if it is a crack or scratch.
Not much to look at now
crack in question
