Finally up and running! It’s been a slow journey (bought this the week before Christmas!) I have learned quite a bit along the way and still learning more as I fine tune things here and there. The wife and I are super happy with how it all turned out.
Cycling now with some Turbostart and will be checking the parameters over the next few weeks before I start swapping over the gang from my Biocube and our last 2 velvet survivors from the Hospital tank.
Working out a random intermittent gurgle from the sump every once in a while, but other than that all is good with no leaks!
So my 100 gal tank seam started leaking after we re sealed it so we ditched that tank and ordered this bad boy it will be here Tuesday so excited
My husband fixed my seam in my 100 gallon it’s back up and running
Up and running again after the last tank leaked.
My tank is done seam busted I’m so devastated
thought I’d share a little tribulation I went through. went to do my maintenance a few weeks ago and noticed the acrylic wall that separates the front from the rear compartments of my AIO became separated. I freaked out. called store and the manufacturer. they said I’d have to replace. Couldn’t wrap my head around how to do that but with some patient advice and careful planning, the warranty replacement came and I did the transfer. Used a couple of huge storage bins. It was tedious but not hard, and I got through it with no deaths! They said they only see this flaw happen in 2 out of 1000 tanks they sell. Of course it was me.

Going to be moving from my biocibe to this 75 gallon with an Eshopps ADV-100 sump. Seams are good, but internal seals are lifting a little and the overflow box is loose on one side :(. I am in no rush to get this going, it working on it little by little every weekend and probably getting the seals done this weekend.
Does anyone have any experience with the sump? I haven’t been able to find too much information online and wan to make sure I get it right the first time.
The owner at my job had an old 300 gallon tank that needs the bottom glass repaned or sealed with epoxy, just got it for the free!!
