  1. So when I was in the hobby back in the day I was extremely serious about acclimation. Then after years of being in the hobby, I noticed a few things with my livestock. I noticed I had more long term success by using classic freshwater acclimation. The ol float bag and dump. I tried to always keep my water at .24 which to me was close enough to anyone else's reef tank salinity and same as local fish store. I never did introduce water from bag to tanks. I started floating and would dump some of my tank water into bag and then max 30 min they are out of bag and Into QT or whatever. I would even test bag saltwater to see salinity but nobody I ever bought from had less than .23 salinity. So I gave up doing that step and just did my regular steps. This went for everything I dont care what the critter is. What is everyone's opinion nowadays?
  2. https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/fusion-pro-2-40-long-gallon-aio-lagoon-aquarium-tank-only/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw-fmZBhDtARIsAH6H8qh0pL-hHHNw98T57DBb8dd4_0qGO8SYuKG4JjR5hqTHVl3n2mDei-oaAs8AEALw_wcB Anyone own this brand? I have a spot with built cabinetry which is max 40L inches by 20w and height is like 27 inches. You can see a pic in the general discussion thread I posted. Unless I go custom which I won't, I'm looking at this brand or just a basic 40 gal breeder with upgrades which will cost 200 to 300 bucks less from my calculations and give me 4 more inches in height. So sell me or more importantly my wife on this brand. I can't fit a redsea, jbj etc as they are all 23 inches wide. Needs to be aio rectangle tank with no sump. Also.. what fish can even fit in a lagoon? at 13 inches tall I dont want just coral. Would i be better off just getting 40 breeder for added inches. I wish they had a 50 gal fusion pro long as I betcha it would just be more height and footprint would be same.
  3. Sheesh I didn't even look at for sale stuff on forum. Been out of the loop for awhile. Right now I am in between IM fusion pro 2 40L as it will fit in there or just 40 gal breeder with aio fujicube kit I'm going to search forum for reviews on IM fusion tanks and its only 13 inches high which is concerning as I dont want just a frag tank.
  4. Thanks everyone. Ya I saw Fiji cube has a drop in aio kit for 40 gal breeder. I'll look into this stuff
  5. So I'm back:) anyone own one of these fluval 32 gal flex?. I just posted in general discussion asking about good aio systems. I can fit bigger but I might just end up going with more of a nano tank. So what is the nano community opinion on a good but not uber expensive aio aquarium? Jbj or corallife biocube or fluval etc etc. I don't want a ton of modes and from everything I have read the fluval is out competing biocubes now that it came out.
  6. So I've been out of the hobby for a few years as I sold my house and my fish tank lol. But I miss saltwater so thinking about getting a new tank. I wasn't thinking anything big like my old 75 gal with 38 gal sump, but instead, one of these AIO tanks. First thought was basic jbj or coralife biocube. But now we have a bunch like the fluval 32 gal flex. Red sea and rimless waterbox which is too expensive for my taste etc. if you see attached picture looks Kinda like a built in stand huh:) I cannot have a sump though. But I wouldn't mind filling this space which to be safe would be 40 inches long and 18 inches wide. The height can't be more than 21 inches. So I have good access as max is 30 inches. Looks like I could do maybe 50 gal or even up to 60 if dimensions are correct. So any good suggestions for aio systems in this size range? I can just go with all these 32 gal but might as well fill this space up. Thanks

    Welcome! What type of tank you want? Fowlr (fish only with live rock) or reef? What type of coral you want to keep if you want a reef tank? Some corals like a little dirty water but let me tell you something. Everything everyone told ya is important, especially water changes. Invest in good salt and do water changes. Oh and quarantine your fish!
  9. Taken from camera phone cause it's all I got! Thanks again Mike for the nem.

    I run mine from outside faucet to garage so numbers should 'according to manufacturer' get even better come summertime. Here are the numbers: *Outside faucet psi 60. Tested by city with me watching lol. *From faucet to unit the psi went down to 45psi. *smart buddie booster boosted it to 100psi more like 105/110🤔 if my gauge is accurate. According to manufacturer it's supposed to boost it to 100psi. So I don't know but it isn't leaking or bursting so that good! I am now literally getting 1 gal filtered water to like 2 maybe 3 gal waste. I couldnt be happier about the difference. Warning** My measuring is using two five gal water jugs and sitting in garage with 🍺 watching YouTube and the waste water jug lol. But I have some OCD so fairly accurate😁
