And no water changes correct ?

4/12/19 update.. I think I'm close to being ready for a fish Here is my water paramters. Ammonia is just about zero so it's clearly being converted. Nitrite is high yet my only concern Nitrate is high as well but I don't have my lights on for algae to grow. I think it's time to...

I'm going to get one for the second chamber it's the intank fuge - I'll scratch the black off and put a light on the back. More money but less problems

Update ! Installed my media basket with chemi pure & purigen Picked up my pump from harbor freight for 8 bucks Ammonia is down to .25 ppm from 2.0ppm Nitrate & nitrite are pinned at Max testing levels. Either an algae bloom is about to occur or my rocks just arnt ready to filter yet

Could also be a good QT. tempting

Best I could offer is some filter floss.

They're probably overkill for my need anyways. I would like 160's but I don't even have a fish in my tank yet so it's not necessary.

If only my money tree was blooming

Haha not unless I can glue them together to get 60 gallons

A day late and a dollar short.. if only I saw this before I bought my IM 30.

So right where it becomes visible ? So like a 1/4" down from where it's shown now ?

I am curing the rock in my actual tank

So you're saying kill filter and skimmer add bio spira why the rock is curing ?

Some minor updates as of today (4/7/19) When should I add my Bio-spira? Added two pieces of my brothers live rock very tiny pieces I have added my marine pure tablet to the middle chamber (no pictures) Tweaking my protein skimmer.. need some advise Are the bubbles at a good location in the...

I will do this! I will pre-mix water the night before with a cheap heater in the storage.

It's a 30 gallon tank so ~5 gallon changes once a week. The storage container is 44 gallons.

Howdy all! Happy Friday! Quick question: Should I have a heater in my RO/DI water storage? It's in my garage and remains about 55 Fahrenheit. If I was to put a heater in there it would be user heater and or a super cheap one nothing crazy. Or should I only begin to heat it when I am doing...

Loving the tank - hope to have something looking like this soon! 40 gallon? Also I got lucky my IM tank comes with a mesh top very similar.

I will be following this thread! I am not quite there yet... But I am eager to have a colorful flowing tank of corals.
