New IM 25 Lagoon here! Upgrading from a Marineland Portrait 5gal pico that ran for 3 years. The rock on the back right is from that tank along with the clown, 1 blue leg hermit, and 1 snail. Hoping the existing rock carries enough bacteria that the cycle isn't too crazy and everything goes smoothly. 🙏🏻 CaribSea
Hawaiian Black Arag, AI Prime 16HD, stock return pumps but thinking of going to a AI Axis 40, spin streams on both returns, and a Nero 3 on the right wall. Inkbird temp controller and 50w heater. IM caddy on right chamber with floss and Seachem matrix, left chamber is still a sock but changing to VCA NOSOK when it arrives. I look forward to seeing your tanks! Especially 25 Lagoons! Any advice is appreciated 🙂
