5 Attachment(s)
Well a long time ago i had a Innovative Marine 20Fusion. I always have had tanks with a sump except for this one as i move around. So right when they announced the EXT is the same time i decided to build a IM20 Black Series set up. though i have many many photos of me DIY things im going to post up the finished product photos.
Equipment is as follows: Custom Stand Custom Canopy Custom Sump(Built by salty fish aquariums in San Antonio,TX) Modular Marine 800GPH Overflow Let lighting T5 Retrofit Kit(2 ATI Blue+ Bulbs) AI Hydra26 HD Future Equipment: Ecotech Vectra S1 2x IceCap 1k Gyre Cobolt Neotherm 100w heater APEX Doser(Undecided on brand) |

Looks awesome. I would add a ball valve on each of the returns because the shorter run will get more flow.

Awesome set up on such a small tank. Should run great once you get water and live stock into it.

When i had my Fusion 20G i had my lights more together to cover the tank. now that i have a regular 20B i had to spread the lights back out to fully cover everything. plus i want my Hydra26 to be hitting the center of the tank rather then more of the front.

Nice small set up. Can you share the dimension of the tank/stand and Sump?

Great set up. I just set up a 20 Black with a 20-gallon sump. The sump is a great addition. Your set up looks super clean. Looking forward to seeing the tank filled.
Any plans for a reactor or skimmer? |
Nice set up. I like the light setup a lot. What type of schedule are you going to use with it?
|
Love the fusion tanks

Literally the longest build thread ever.... not to be rude but why the hell is it taking you so long to get it set up lol.
Nice build for sure but when I set up a tank is all set and done in a few days. |

As for equipment though i no longer need to buy any lol. Just some dry rock and let the cycle begin. well i take it back, need to buy all the filters and membranes for my 6stage rodi unit lol, and some sand, test equipment and supplements to dose. Im sure all my RedSea test kits are expired by now same with the supps lol. |
ahhhh yea the good ol family excuse :) I hear you. Luckily my wife is cool with me having a little tank I am sure if we had kids it would be much harder to enjoy and maintain.
Well here's to hoping you get this tank up and running before 2019! |
I like the way that you have mounted the doser. Can you post picts? Thank you!
|
Super clean.
