Back to reef with IM Fusion 10

trunglippo · Apr 18, 2017

Hi all,

I took a break from reef last year due to wedding and family things. Now everything is settled, so I'm slowly coming back to reef. Since space is limited in the house now, so I just bought the IM Fusion 10 gallons from Marine Depot. It will mainly house zoas.

Just finished building the small stand for it

The stock pump is weak in my opinion. It's only 92 gph at max. I'm thinking to upgrade to Sicce .5 with the deflector for this tank. Does anyone have good experience with the pump or deflector? Any feedback is very appreciated to help me build this setup. Thanks

That's a clean stand. Nicely done

Found out floor was uneven due to tiles. I had to level it by shimming and secured it to the wall.

Looking good Trung. Good call securing the stand. I really like the rockwork.

You should take off the l bracket from the outside and attah a tv earthquake strap or secure the l bracket from inside the stand.

Love the aquascape as well! What fish are you looking to add?

Because it looks ugly? Inside the stand is very small, so I couldn't do it.
I have something to cover outside when everything is done. Thanks for your tips.

Not sure yet. I'm planning to get 2 nice baby clowns but not sure since tank is small.

What if you used a flexible shaft bit to get in there?

Nice looking set-up!! I chose to go the filter sock, just seems like it would be such a pain to clean out detritus from the sump chambers being as there isn't much room to work with.

Back to reef with IM Fusion 10
