AIO New Project?

[jessegarcia28]

acrylic AIO tank 17"x15"x12"H
thinking of making it my little grow out tank with some high end zoas/acans/chalices
well see:)
I'll be keeping it very simple as far as filtration
rear chamber:
1st chamber:chemipure elite,phosguard/purigen
2nd chamber miracle mud/mangroves and whatever else fits there
3rd chamber returnpump/heater
No skimmer
weekly water changes
Lighting: AI Nano sol or 15K Kessil ??????
and it begins
comments & inputs appreciated

Nice little tank! Why do you end up putting in a skimmer? First post said your were not going to use one? Can't wait to see this think come together.

thanks, i added the skimmer only because i came across this one in particular with the perfect footprint of my back chamber + sometimes i get lazy or forget to do weekly WC

Wow that acrylic is thick for the size of the tank, looks great

[slicktoppomp]

That's cool. Are you still going to able to fit your mirical mud and mangroves back there with the skimmer?

if i place the skimmer in the first chamber where the overflow is i can do a fuge in the center, only thing is when i do the water test ill check if the water flow is just right so i can accomplish good water circulation
