Innovative Marine Lagoon 25 Filtration

[@jackiekearney]

My IM lagoon is coming tomorrow. Thanks for sharing your filtration system. New Subscriber here 🙋‍♀️

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

Absolutely! Thank you and check out Carolina Shore Reef, I will be posting updates there!

[@marcusmoss3086]

You make it look so easy. Looks amazing.

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

Thanks Marcus I like to keep things as simple as possible.

[@marionava2961]

Awesome tank I’m following your footsteps

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

Thank you!

[@Slybandit41]

awesome tank i just ended up getting one my self. ? tho where did u get the polyfill

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

Appreciate it! I get it from Walmart.

[@gregballa312]

Very nice tank! Wondering what heater you went with for fit?

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

Thank you! I believe its a titanium one by aquatop but not positive.

[@RonoTron01]

Is it possible to use this tank for freshwater? how is the glass clarity? Can you do a separate tutorial on how to setup the refugium? Thanks!

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

Low iron glass so it's very clear. It would be good for any type of tank. Which parts for setting up the refugium? All you need to do is make a basket, put some starter chaeto in it and have a light over it👍

[@sebastiang6179]

Hi - great little tank! What channel settings u run one the primes? Tank u :)

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

Thank you! My primes are running an ab+ with clouds setting that I found on the ai prime group on Facebook.

[@RoadKillRN]

What is the plant in your minifuge? I didn't understand what you called it. I am contemplating getting this tank. Thanks man!

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

Right on! It's chaeto, a type of algae.

[@quintonlynch8638]

Hi! Any reason you chose not to use a protein skimmer?

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

Yes, less equipment to maintain

[@dayotennis]

Great setup! Is there no need for a protein skimmer? Or you would recommend it?

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

Thank you! No need imo.

[@koston777]

Nice tank! How often and how much do you do your water change?

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

Lately, I'd say every 3 weeks I change out 5g of water. Check out Carolina Shore Reef! I'll be posting more updates on that channel.

[@hopkan002]

Thinking of investing in an IM Lagoon 25. Are two ai primes recommended on the tank?

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

I saw a huge difference with 2!

[@palmtree1144]

I use two, but I would say 1 would be good for softies and lps

[@mrschnigglepoo]

Where do you put the heater in this tank? Or do you not have one? I am about to get this tank, and I am thinking my only real option is the cobalt neotherm in the pump chamber with an ATO. Thanks!

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

I had it there but now I keep it in the second chamber!

[@mrschnigglepoo]

@@CarolinaShoreFishing Is it the cobalt 100w? And do you have it in there with anything else now?

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

I'm unsure which it is. It's a titanium heater if that helps. I believe 75w. Nothing else in the chamber besides it.

[@mrschnigglepoo]

@@CarolinaShoreFishing Thanks so much!

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

Absolutely! Next time I change water and check it out I'll lyk what it is.

[@marionava2961]

Are you running 2 media baskets

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

Yes

[@toby_784]

Do you know what Wattage you're refugium lights is? Thanks.

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

Unfortunately I don't know. I just grabbed a cheap red blue light plant bulb from ebay.

[@tommynguyen558]

I hate how there is an awkward space under the chambers, you know how the middle chamber extends under the side ones?

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

Yup it is different. I know some fill that space with bio material but I rather have the flow.

[@timothy_b03]

How much did the overall set up cost? Looks great!

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

Thanks Tim! I've got something in store for that so I cant say just yet... what's your guess? I still have a lot of calculating to do haha.

[@timothy_b03]

Carolina Shore Fishing I’m gonna assume a couple G’s. Haha

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

Me too hahah

[@piranhalegify]

Out of that 25 gallon tank how many gallons does the filtration take up?

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

I would say 5g

[@marionava2961]

Can u provide a link for the matrix bottle a long with the media boss 😄😄

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

I should have it all in the description! If it's not there lmk!

[@marionava2961]

Thank you for looking at the comments

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

My pleasure!

[@NelsonMendoza77]

Hi. I was wondering what lights you use to grow your corals? My wife bought me this tank for my birthday and I'm looking for lights. Thanks

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

I use AI Prime HD

[@dolfsalas203]

What are those balls called?

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

It's been a while for me but try looking up marine bioballs and see if anything useful comes up. I remember buying them from my LFS.

[@marionava2961]

Why does my ph drop

[@mikedwr3705]

That looks bigger than the 25

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

I think the bigger ones are taller

[@marionava2961]

[@CarolinaShoreFishing]

No sock
