IM SR80 Pro build

[kevinf]

Back in the hobby after 10+ years. August 2024 started an IM 30L build. My lovely wife is already letting me upgrade. I initially wanted the IM 75g INT, however, an LFS had the IM sr80 on display for black Friday pricing. Wife loved it, & I thought it was great as well. Didn't have to assemble anything so even bigger plus.

Anyway, it will be a few months before I get everything together with the upgrade. I will list what I have now, what I've ordered ect.

What I have from the 30L that's going on the SR80

Kessil A160WE (2x) + spectral controller

CoralVue Launch

CoralVue Kraken w/ Renogy 12v 100Ah AGM battery

CoralVue Control XS

CoralVue Triple Level sensor (2x)

On order:
Kraken lid

Not much has happened. Got a few more parts rolling in. Filled it with water to test for leaks yesterday and it was not level. Ordered some shims

Thanks! It's all leveled. I'm going on vacation this week, so I'm waiting till I come back to set it all up

Back from vacation. Bought some rock on Sunday and slowly filling it up with saltwater since Monday. I work all week so it's slow going after I get home lol

Love this tank. My current custom AIO is based on it, just with wider rear chambers. Following.

I had the day off so I committed at 9am this morning to move everything over.

It actually went smoother than I thought. I got a bunch of cable management and putting the rest of the electronics in it's place to due still. However, it's up and running.

Disassembled the old tank. Have much more room in my basement again. Octospawn is ticked because I glued it back to a plug because I ripped it off while moving the tank

 

[kevinf]

Cleaned up the wiring a tad.
Ran out of room for the kessil controller lol
