  1. This is my first saltwater tank. I've been a WAMAS member since 2013 but I just set up my tank in December 2018. I purchased an Aquamaxx 22 gallon and I love the size. It is larger than many nano tanks but not so large that I struggle doing regular water changes (just 4 gallons at a time). My main consideration for choosing an aquarium was height and size. I am 5'4" tall and many tanks were too tall for me with the stand. The tank measures 36 x 12 x12. I ordered a custom stand from Etsy.com. The company is UrbanIndustrialNW. The stand is made of recycled Douglas Fir (well sealed) and measures 38" x 14" and 36" tall. It also has a lower shelf for a future sump tank (if I decided to switch over to one). Right now, I have an Oceanbox Designs AIO Reef Conversation installed on the left hand side with Chemipure Blue, Purigen, and InTank Bonded Poly Filter Floss. The light is a Kessil A360X. I found a beautiful Teak bracket for the light. It is made by OneFortyThree (www.onefortythree.com) and it is a pendant light bracket. It is normally 10" from the wall but I asked them to make it 9", which they were happy to do. The Kessil cord runs over the top of the bracket and down through a groove in the back. I am trying to decide if I want to cover the cord and paint it. I used a Griplock ZF-15ZZ to hang it from the ceiling. I am using 1/16" steel cable from Home Depot, 1 alligator clip, 1/4" x 4" eye bolt and 1/8" garabiner at the ceiling. With the bracket and Griplock, I can easily adjust the light height or take it down. The Griplock can hold up to 50 lbs. so it is quite secure. The Griplock is from shop.bmisupply.com (cost $2.95 plus $5 shipping). Since I am a newbie, I am sticking with just 2 clownfish, 1 Peppermint shrimp and 2 snails. So far, everything is going pretty well and I feel like I can manage this tank. I just need to figure out how to hide the cords. My next step is to add a few easy corals. I will update the build when I add my first coral. Mary Lynn
