Getting Excited

Getting ready to start my IM 25 gallon Lagoon Tank build. I know its not as exciting as some of the giant tanks you guys have, but i thought i would share. My equipment will be:

Upgrading pump to Tunze 1073.008
Smart Micro ATO
Tune 9001 Comline Skimmer
30 lbs Live Rock that has been curing for about 3 months
Kessil A360we with the Kessil controller
InTank Media Baskets with Carbon, Purigen, and Filter Floss.

Ill post pics as soon as I get in the mail. I took advantage of AquaCaves memorial day sale and decided to pull the trigger on this project. I currently have a 5.5 gal pico that has been doing so well, that i have to go bigger. Dont let anyone tell you that you can't have thriving SPS in a small tank! They are growing like weeds under a Kessil A80. More to come soon!

Good think about the slash is people don't judge you how big or small your tank is or how good your equipment there are plenty of people here that just want your tank to be successful. My tank is small btw.

I'll say it again "it's not the size that matters,its the wetness that counts.."

Did you ever setup your lagoon 25 with the smart ATO. IF you did, did you have to scrape off some of the black film for the optical sensor? Once again, if you did, how did you do it.

Thanks
