ADA Rimless Build

This will be my first documentation of my lastest tank build.

22g ADA Rimless
20g L sump/refugium
Custom Stand
AI Sol Blue
MP10 Vortech
Reef Octopus NWB 110

This project has been a major undertaking. I never realized how much work people put into their tanks and it has made me appreciate it far more. I have been in the saltwater hobby around 5 years owning a 55g, 40g BR Mantis, then a 40g BR reef, and now my pride and joy, this ADA rimless.

Big thanks to Dublo8 from RC. Without his help, this tank wouldn't have been possible. Blood, sweat and saltwater couldn't be more appropriate for this build. I managed to get a razor blade half way into my leg and dropped the DT onto my toe, destroying my cuticle and losing a toe nail. But through all the bumps and hurdles, this tank turned out fantastic and I couldn't be happier.

Tank will be mainly LPS, Softies, and Zoos/Palys but I will hand pick some very nice SPS and possibly a small Maxima in the future.

Rock is MarcoRock that I epoxed together. Sand is Caribsea.

Tank has started Feb 25th and currently cycling. Refugium lighting, heater, and Tunze are all temp until tank is ready.

Photos are unedited, taken straight from my camera.
