So I finally have the tank running !! I am planning on letting it run for about a month before I start adding things. I have 100 lbs of base rock and about 40 lbs of live rock in live sand is about 3"-4" deep really getting the bugs worked out, It runs almost completely silent. OH and NO LEAKS this time....

So here's where I am at :
2 Black Box (81 LED's each) Dimmable
SWC Skimmer, octo 2500 pump
Titanium Heater and controller
ATO
Panorama Pro (gen2) Fuge LED
Mag 12 return pump on a semi closed loop.

I have put in corals
Zoas/Palys, Clove Polyps, War Coral, Rainbow Monti, and an Acan

I have fish:
Powder Brown Tang (smokey)
Male Watchman Goby (the lookout)
Tiger Pistol Shrimp ( dozer )
CUC

So that's where I am at. So it's your chance to poke fun at the noob, here ya go..


BY the way the tank is an in wall, so Pic 4 and 6 are the front/ living room side. 5 is the back, bathroom side.

What's in the baffle area of your sump between the skimmer and return pump?

Now this is a really cool build, love the rockwork and the in-the-wall set up!

Well here's where I am now. I have 62 corals, mostly Zoas and Palys, a few Acan, Blasto and Chalice. I got my first SPS yesterday ( Red Dragon Acro ).I have a Tri-color Fairy Wrasse, Copperband, Watchman Goby, Tiger Pistol Shrimp, and Orange Shoulder Tang. So far so good, I have pods the size of mysis, coraline is doing very well, and everything seems to be stable. Hopefully next month I can start working on some automation, controller, plumbing water to the tank, etc....

Hope you like the video, if it posts......

Edit: The Powder Brown was evicted for being a jerk, and killing my Swallowtail Angels.
