will be following along as i build my fusion 30l. here is a picture of my progress with custom steel stand powdercoated. still has protective wrap on bottom so ignore that. the plans for the stand will be to have smoked glass inset between the side tube. and possibly smoked glass doors

one question i have . i have noticed a slight gap between the stand and one corner of the tank. will the foam pad under the tank compress enough or should i put a piece of plywood down with some thicker foam on top. or just some thick high density foam by itself

How big of a gap? Mine is up until a mm or two of the edge

the gap is at the rear left corner, just enough that you can see light through it if i shine a flashlight. the tank does have a foam mat preinstalled. the rest of the tank rests perfect on the stand. I may add a thin yoga mat as well

Today I added a red planet acro


Yellow watcan goby and a cleaner warse (free from a buddy moving)





I started my dossing setup tonight. Mixed up some calcium alkalinity and magnesium. I felt like a mad scientist




Now I did a 5g water change with reef crystals yesterday.

Today I tested my levels and everything was perfect... I'll test again tomorrow night and see if it moves
June 29
Calcium 400
Alkalinity 2.5/7
Magnesium 1360

Nice recovery! Glad to see you stuck with it despite the tank failure, thats always really crushing to go through. Love the new setup!
