20 Long AIO: Media Rack and Picture Update

I finally had some free time to work on the media rack for the middle chamber of the AIO. I must say, working with acrylic is pretty fun.

As you can see, the rack has room for 3 types of filter media. I decided to go with Chemipure elite, Purigen, and a phosphate sponge to help keep things stable in this nano. Overall it game out very nicely, and im happy with the performance so far. Hopefully it will help keep things in check!

Here are a couple more shots of how the tank is doing. Everything has opened up and is getting used to the new surroundings. I am pretty proud to announce that the only casualty from this move was on of my scarlet cleaner shrimp, which actually turned out to be a pretty cool event. The only thing I am skeptical of at this point is the amount of rock in the tank – there are definitely some dead spots with minimal flow. I will let it run like this and monitor chem levels, but I may need to remove some rock in the near future.

This is it for now, I hope you enjoyed the build. I will post another update with more pictures on how the tank is doing and if I decide to remove some rock. I am also thinking about installing a small protein skimmer in the refugium chamber as there seems to be a decent amount of room.

Oh and PLEASE, let me know what you think! (Comment below )
