After 5 years out of the hobby I'm finally ready to get back in. This will be my fourth reef aquarium and by far the smallest. Not sure how many people are still around from when I posted here years ago.
I've learned a lot from my previous tanks so this build has been well thought out. I decided to do an Innovative Marine-AIO because I don't have much space but wanted to do something nice for my daughter. I'm confident that with the correct planning I can overcome the limitations of the setup to keep SPS.
I'm running a full zeovit setup and surprisingly the reactor works very well in this respect for both flow and ease of agitating the stones. I'll also be running two skimmers to hopefully control nutrients enough to keep picky corals. I'll also be running a Tunze Osmolator and Two Part Dosing Kit to stabilize water chemistry in the smaller setup (All of my previous builds were 200+ gallons).
The tank was cycled with Dry Carib-Sea Special Grade Reef Sand and Fiji Live Rock. I'm about a month past cycle now and I've got four fish and some corals, mostly acropora. Here is the equipment list along with a few pictures.
