Eric's IM 40L aio

[Srt4eric]

So I just pulled the trigger on one of these today. My plan is to break down my garage tanks and move what's left into this tank.

I'm planning on moving my apex and trident over to this. I'm also going to use my four 5th gen Xr15s over it. I have more than enough equipment to get this thing set up as soon as it arrives.

Nice!
From the pic you have there, it looks like no lights are required. It's self lit.

Wishing you the best of luck with your new tank.

Super unexpectedly my tank was dropped off to my house today. Just an hour after IM called and told me it had shipped.

 

[Kensington Reefer]

Unpack very carefully!!

Innovative marine is one of my favorite tanks, love thier glass,silicon and sleek designs. I have aio 10g and the aio 20g peninsula. The 20g peninsula has been running for 4years and I abuse the glass/silicon while cleaning it with a razor blade yet the silicon did not budge!
Have fun setting the new tank up!!

Commenting to follow what will probably be the most over-engineered 40L in history.

40 liters? I want to know how they got 8 fish in the picture of the 40 liter (10.5 gallon) tank. The self lighting feature is pretty neat too

I have really mixed feelings about these APS stands especially after putting one together. Both my floor and my stand are level, but when the two met nothing was level. After a bit of tweeking the stand is now level with my floor.

I ordered the black stand but I received and email saying they had one stand left and it wasn't up to their standards. I could either go white, wait 4-6 weeks or go white.

White it is.

 

[Darkxerox]

At least the white one will hide the dried salt spots better

This is nice indeed. I am looking to purchase myself some day. Please keep us updated with the progress

Despite breaking a rib on sunday the tank is now in place!!!!

This came with a mightjet dc return pump. I think it's max is 538 gph. Anyone have any experience with those? I was thinking of throwing a vectra s2 back there.

Suck it ribs. Don’t sneeze or cough…

I run two of them in my IM75 in the sump. They don’t recommend it in the usage in that manner, but it works for the most part. They’re great little pumps in a nice small package. I haven’t had any issue with any of the mighty jets of various sizes that I run, think I have 6 or so of them of them running in some shape or form across my tanks.

Vectra s2 would be crazy overkill and unnecessary. You’d have to make sure to calibrate so it didn’t have a chance of spray out of your tank.
