      Sean's Cobalt 40 AIO

      So the wife and I have decided we need to be closer to family and are moving to Spring Valley from campo. Having a 6 month old and living an hour to the closest hospital just made the decision even easier.

      So for the time being I have set up a 40g AIO at my inlaws house during the transition. So I am downsizing from a 180 with sump that i literally just set up 3 months ago to this AIO. Good news is I'm loving the switch bad news is i dont have as much room as I'd like.

      I ended up buying a new cobalt aquatics 40g AIO. Which I couldn't be happier with. The craftsmanship is amazing.

      I am going to keep everything stock on this tank I think. No skimmer but I will have one on hand just in case. I bought an Amazon Full Spectrum LED light to start off with but might switch in the near future. It is a MICMOL 72w 36". Its fully programmable with lighting effects (when I want it too). I used cycled rock with new live black sand so I can pretty much stock right away. It's been up and running for 3 weeks now. Just put corals in Monday 4/15.

      Here's a FTS and some corals.

      Very nice. I agree those colbalt tanks look very nice. I liked the beveled edge seams as well

      Here's an update. Added a tunze 9004 skimmer as I was having a hard time controlling nitrates with water changes. Built a light shield (not yet complete but testing it). Added a bunch more corals.... let me known what you think
