Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
You can easily DIY a version of this with what u have lying around the house.
They should have just shared the idea with the masses instead of trying to profit from it
Check it out....they wanna charge $500.00 - $550.00 for a pump and a bucket.

in the video, they also only recommend that you cycle your tank for 48hrs before you add the live rock and fish.....it's almost like a placebo affect if you ask me.....in the picture they are only showing how the tank will look after you set up day 1
personally i do not like the set up, as is, like James @njtiger24 aquariums mentioned, its a little misleading IMO.
if you look at the video, they are only selling you the concept. (the fish coupon, sand, rock, corals etc) they are using the Fluval Evo Marine Aquarium for the set-up Evo...
personally i use crushed coral on my tank but i picked it up new......i wouldn't use anything used (personally) as far as substrate. too many variables involved with that IMO
i have a 40lb bag of dry/sugar fine sand if you are interested, free if you can pick it up
small tanks are tough, the biggest issue i had with my 10gal IM was swings in salinity.....also after a while, once i started to add a bunch of items, skimmer, wave maker, heater, media etc. the tank itself became a cluttered eyesore
Like @horseplay mentioned, with what u have, right now feeding isn't necessary. U typically only feed corals with "mouths" so to speak. Water changes and maintaining parameters will suit you just fine.
But if you do decide to feed, the Chilli is 1x scoop per 20gal so I would use half a scoop...
You can either target feed with a dipper or a turkey baster or just mix and blast it in the tank. A little goes a long way as this stuff will add nutrients to your tank
so here is what i have it set to....i am not sure if this is is right or if i should have it set differently. i copied this off a site not really knowing if this makes sense....i really do not understand the coding part of the apex
