Hi everyone!
I'll be getting back into reefing after almost a 10 year break. I'm looking to set up a IM 25 gal Fusion Lagoon in the few weeks. Below are my plans for the equipment for the tank. I'm looking to start slow with some easy, colorful softies and LPS. Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Tank: IM 25 Fusion Lagoon
http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/25-fusion-lagoon-aquarium-tank-only-innovative-marine.html
Light: Current USA Orbit IC LED - Loop Compatible
https://www.amazon.com/Current-USA-...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=VE2DPFSE5DT0QQXS335Q
Light Mount: Current USA Orbit IC LED Mount
https://www.marinedepot.com/Current...nt_Bracket-Current_USA-CU04193-FILTLA-vi.html
Wave Pump: Current USA 6004 660 GPH
https://www.amazon.com/Current-USA-...eywords=Current+USA+eFLux+Accessory+Wave+Pump
Rock: 40lbs of dry rock
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002DI7F0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Substrate: 20lbs of Carib Sea Arag-alive Substrate Black
https://www.amazon.com/Carib-Sea-Ar...id=1499817946&sr=8-1&keywords=black+live+sand
I plan on replacing the filter socks with media baskets

Upgraded return pump:Sicce Syncra Silent 1.5 Pump
http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/sicce...EcyNUbimVvEFGEcO5s0TrOa8eEBR8A0sbUaAnis8P8HAQ
I'd like to do a refugium in the back instead of a skimmer (dont think a decent one will fit with a light mount attached) Eventually I'd planning on upgrading to the AI Hydra 26 HD for lighting.
I'd love to hear everyone's input on my ideas for the initial set up of the tank and especially from anyone who has a IM 25 Lagoon set up. What would you do differently then I'm planning? Budget is the limiting factor right now.
Thanks!
Dave
