One tip I would like to offer, in my opinion you should hold off on adding a lot of coral too fast. I didn't catch it in the photos, but it can't to me in the video, your rocks are so clean. I didn't realize that your tank is as immature as it is. Even though your test results may look good, there is more than testable parameters that need to develop in the tank. You have mostly hardy, begginer type coral, but I think /know that trials are in your future and the coral will show stress.

I agreed with Bobby

Yeah i understand, thats the reason why i didnt go away from the beginner hardy coral. I know sooner or later something is going to happen, just kind of just waiting for it lol. Right now im just going to keep an eye on the tank and keep checking parameters and Do water change. Thank you for the heads up and pointers.

So here is an update. Will be moving all the frags to the frag tank once the three tier is aged a bit. But the cabinet is there so that i can add all my apex classic stuff and controllers up to. Hopefully it will come out as clean as i hope it will lol

Very nice! Does one sump cover the 3 tanks? I saw the pics showing the plumbing but couldn’t figure it out.

I'm thinking of starting another small QT tank for coral. Nothing fancy like that setup. I wonder if a small 5 g tank would work
