Hey reefers!
I ordered an Innovative Marine 30L with APS stand about a month ago…
Well, guess what!?
It finally arrived in one piece thanks to our friends at UPS and I was able to get it set up.
Here’s what I got going…
-IM30L AIO with APS stand
-Kessil AP9X with mount arm
-2 AI Nero 3’s
-Cobalt 100W heater
-JBJ nano ATO
-IM mightyjet return pump
I plan to use two custom media baskets for the left and right sides. They are currently being made by a friend. Excited about those coming soon!
I just started the cycling process today after getting things set up last night. I have a pico tank that I seeded this new tank with. I really don’t expect much from adding the filter sock, but at least it’s seeded with something. I also chose to do the fish less cycle using Dr. Tim’s with his delicious ammonia. Hopefully things will kickstart and get going. As mentioned before in another post, this will be the first time that I have two tanks running at once. It will be a new experience for me that I’m excited about. Especially the water changes
I’m really happy with how the tank and stand go together. I had this spot in my bedroom picked out for a while now. The APS stand was worrying me at first, but after a few F bombz and a call to IM tech support, I was able to do some woosaaaa and get it going. As far as the lighting and wavemakers, I was able to set up both up wirelessly without any issue. The AP9X fits great over this tank, and provides excellent coverage all around. I can’t wait to see what some of my corals look like under it. I also like that the pucks are recessed, completely eliminating the light shining in your eyes if you’re sitting next to it. Once connected to WiFi, the AP9X automatically synced my light schedule over from my 360X on the pico. The Nero 3’s are mounted on the overflow and are both set on random mode. These were also very easy to connect through WiFi. I am really impressed with the Kessil and AI apps for your phone.
I think that’s about it for now! I have some pics below to check out! Thanks for reading.
