Starting a NEW 15G IM AIO Build

[dshillen]

I am starting a new nano build. Many might think it's a little overkill but hey this is my hobby and I want to enjoy it the way I want.

Equipment I already had laying around

Neptune Apex just using the EB8 and the brain (not using the probes)
Bashsea SS-5 gallon ATO
Kessill Goosneck
Ecotech MP-10
Corallife Biocube 14/16 gallon aquarium stand

New Items
Innovative Marine Helio 100 Watt heater
Innovative Marine 266 gph Mightyjet pump
Innovative Marine Nuvo Roller Pro
Innovative Marine NuvoSkim Protein skimmer
XP Aqua Duetto 2 Dual sensor ATO
Kessill A160WE Tuna Blue LED
Caribsea Agra-Alive Fiji Pink reef sand 10 lbs

I have placed an order with Tampa Bay Saltwater for their Pico Package that includes 8 pounds of premium Nano Rock and base nano rock and 4 pounds of live sand, but it won't ship until Sept 23rd.

My goal is a nice anemone and clown pair. Haven't decided on corals yet but it will be after the anemone and clowns are situated.

I'll attach pics as I go.

Sounds like you're off to a good start. Looking forward to seeing it come together.

Just waiting on the live sand and live rock at the end of September

Looks so nice, bet you can't wait to get in the stuff you are missing.

Placed 10 lbs of CaribSea Fiji Pink sand in the tank. Tomorrow the TBS live rock and live sand is supposed to arrive. Also purchased an evaporation cover for the lid

Very nice set up, I think the IM 15 AIO tank is one best bang for the bucks tank out there. Good job keeping the build under budget, LOL

So the TBS live rock and live sand are in the tank but as you can see these rocks are just large rubble like pieces no much I can do with an aquascape

Purchased this and placed it in the tank with the live rock to seed it after 4-6 weeks I’ll start removing some of the TBS live rock.
