Hi everyone! I've been lurking around here ever since I found out I was moving to Houston last year. When I saw a used IM 25 gallon lagoon for cheap on Craigslist a couple of weeks ago I figured it was time to pull the trigger and set up a tank again. Picked up a bunch of supplies at OceanLife Aquariums today (thanks for the recs, everyone, and shoutout to Jose, who was SUPER awesome and got me everything I needed plus some great advice) and set everything up this afternoon. The idea is to keep everything as simple as possible because I'm lazy.
Equipment:
Innovative Marine 25 gallon Fusion Lagoon
Innovative Marine APS stand
Lighting:
Kessil 160WE Tuna Sun light
Kessil gooseneck with 90° adapter
3/4" black velcro cable wrap
Scape:
CaribSea Fiji Pink, 20 lbs
Live rock, 9 lbs
Shopping list for the future (nice-to-have's):
Kessil A-series spectral controller
Sicce Syncra 1.5 pump
Vivid Creative Aquatics random flow generators x 2
Heater?
Livestock:
I'm hoping to collect some macros in Galveston next weekend after Moody Gardens. Will probably order some stuff from Gulf Coast Ecosystems, too, for some variety. Will likely add some softies and inverts after the tank cycles and stabilizes. For now, I'm just glad to be done toting water!
