The WB's 70g Custom Acrylic Supersized AIO

[Fungusamongus]

I will cook some frags up for you. Some scrambled egg zoas, pink zoas, some Lazer lemons are already on some frag rocks. I have some nuclear plays, magician plays, and purple zoas. Any you want. I already have that teal polyp purple pocillipora you can have. I have a green polyp pink birdsnest. I can cut a Grey with green eye favites. Pick what you would like and I can frag now and try to get them nice and healthy for you. My pectinia and gonis are too small to frag but in the future maybe.

I love Zoas. The Scrambled Eggs, Lazer Lemons and Magicians would go well with the ones I have in the garage. I have Pink Zippers, Rastas, Vivid Rainbows and some Goblins on Fire if I’m remembering that name right. Also planning on getting more Zoas locally from K&P who have a much bigger collection than I originally thought. Just got some pods from them recently. She has some good Toadstools too, I like the long polyp ones. I think I’m going to end up with more softies than I originally planned on. My plan was 4-6 nice sps pieces up top, a few euphyllia on an island to the side and a lot of Zoas down lower and around the sides of the rock work. Lots of color and sps rising out of fields of Zoas looks pretty good in my head.

I’ll look at that tank tomorrow and see what it has for accessories.

K&P has great stuff. Amazing they deliver locally on orders over 100$. I do like their Hawaiian Ding-Dands and their speckled fire and ice zoas. I got my Berghia from them as well. I will get those zoas on some bigger flat plugs today or tomorrow and see if I can't get them to be nice and full for your tank. Have a great weekend.

Thanks man, that’s really nice of you to do. Can’t wait until I’m ready for them.

I got the tank down and had a look at it. It’s 20” long x 14” high x 14” wide.

Here’s the weird trapezoid AIO chamber. It came with a big sponge which could be used for biological filtration I guess. I’d probably remove it if I was going to use this tank. It has a bulkhead and a slip 90 for soft tubing but no pump and no locline. It does have a polycarbonate lid and a cover for the filter area.

There is a middle chamber between the first and the return sections but it’s super narrow. I hope you find a way to make a cool little desktop display out of this thing. Might be good with a Sand and Rocks treasure chest from TBS since the AIO section is small and awkward. That’s what I’d do.

Looks great. Thank-you. I got all those zoas on plugs today. Interesting design for a tank. Really appreciate it.

It was an interesting design alright. We had to talk Tenecor out of some stuff back when this was made. They tended to prioritize what was easier for them to make rather than what was going to be important to a Saltwater hobbyist. They had too much of a freshwater perspective. Hence the trapezoid and the included big block of foam. Some stuff we got them to change and some we didn’t. In the case of this tank they followed our recs and changed the dims to 24x14x14 with a 5” wide coast to coast AIO section and that’s what they ended up selling for a while. It was a cool little peninsula tank. Kinda wish they’d sent me one of those too. No biggie though, I got plenty of good stuff out of that relationship.
I think you’ll enjoy this one, it’s a blank slate and you can pretty much do anything you want to with it.

I’ve been dealing with a pretty serious break out of green hair algae in both of my tanks. Nothing I can’t handle but it’s been a little annoying. I started experimenting with H2O2 in the garage tank and after a couple of weeks it does seem easier to remove but it’s not gone. My CUC is pretty small down there which doesn’t help. I just started with H2O2 today in the big tank. I need to do a deep clean of the AIO sections and a water change. I’ll remove as many of the rock structures as I can and give them a good scrubbing in the old water before it goes down the drain. I’m kinda tired of dealing with this in two places though so I’m considering moving all of the coral from the garage tank, along with the misbar clown (only fish in that tank) up to the big tank and dealing with it all in one place. I really don’t want to do a clown in that tank but it’s my oldest fish (late May 2019) and I’m not going to rehome it.

Doing that would allow me to take down the 20 long in the garage and replace it with my old Lagoon 50 to use as a frag/holding tank. That would give me a little more room to work. I’m thinking of using TLF reborn as the substrate and trying to propagate some zoas for local trading or store credit at the LFS. I’d just put a flat plug of zoas down on the substrate and let it spread. Should be easy to trim off the zoa matt as it spreads onto the reborn pieces. I think wwc does this and that’s where I got the idea. We’ll see if it works.

How frustrating. Sorry to hear about the setback. Keep us posted.
