IM 30L build

[kevin]

Been out of the hobby since 2013. I really can't believe it's been that long.

Last summer I picked up an IM 30L & stand from a fellow NJ reefer. I picked up some other bits and pieces that summer & stopped.

Fast forward to June 2024 & we bought our first house in Hillsborough where I can actually put it lol. I started to ramp up buying parts the last few weeks.
I'm so out of the loop with everything. I haven't stepped foot in a saltwater store in forever. I'm actually picking up some good stuff tomorrow at Reefco. It will be my first time there.

Anyway, here's just a shot of the aqaurium itself. It took a nice bath in citric acid. Ill list what i purchased so far in a bit

The cable management was much nicer when I first set it up. I then went with the hydros system and gave up on fixing it all
