Many who I have met both in person and virtually in the past 6 months of my journey back into the reef hobby have set me on a path to success and I thank you for your advice and generosity!

The thing I have noticed is that it seems like many people have more than one tank beautifully set up.

I thought , I need another tank!

I had a great opportunity to pick up an IM 25 gallon lagoon all-in-one. This was the tank that I was originally going to start. It has a nice footprint. I am glad I went with the IM SR60 for my main tank. The plan for this tank is a frag tank.

This is only my second tank thread. I've found the other to be very useful to chronicle progression and to get great input.

Started with some old dead rock that my bro-in-law has had stored for about a decade.

Here's where I'm at thus far.

Unfortunately IM does not sell their APS stands without a tank.

Stand is from Waterbox. It is their ALU 2420.
Dimensions are the same for the IM.

It took them sending me 3 replacement sets of side panels to get a pair that were not damaged.

I have the stand on a rolling piece of butcher block, topped with a piece of butcher block to give me a little room for tank placement.

Waiting on a replacement door that also came damaged but are currently out of stock.

Did you build it ?
Sort of. It came with a different motor/trans. Mechanic and tuner put this motor in.
I did the cosmetics and cold air, LSD and interior.
It's a work in progress. LOVE driving it.
Just enough to power for me to be be FUN but not kill myself (yet).
