    Well possibly! A lot of the water and sand (that's in the sump) is from my old tank. I'm trying to dirty up my water to get my nitrates up to 10-20.

    So I have a little cyano outbreak that hopefully I can get taken care of shortly! I did a little rearranging of the corals. I removed one of the rocks and put it in my sum for now and I made a euphyllia rock. As well as other minor changes here and there. I also picked up a gorgeous Lobo...

    Go big or flood your house

    Marsaqua is always a good chinese black box from Ebay. Definitely gets the trick done if you're looking for budget lighting.

    As promised! I light scaped some of the corals on the new structure. Definitely not where they will be perminately. I'm also sorry that the blues are on so much, it's about night time in the tank.. I'll get better ones soon!

    Thank you! I definitely can't take all the credit. A lot of it was desgined by Alex at Ocean Image Aquatics. I just did some tweaking here and there. I'm overall happy with how it came out! Eye balling the structure once I got the rocks home it may be a little to big, but it's going in the tank...

    Thanks guys. Mark, my LFS is great. Super helpful and it's awesome that I am only 5min away. I love the hydras even though I'm using them in acclimation mode currently so they're not even at their full potential yet. I haven't broken in my skimmer yet because I put Fritzyme TurboStart 900 in...

    Just finished up designing my second rock structure at my LFS (Ocean Image Aquatics) to be placed into the left half of the tank. After 30min I'm pretty happy with the results! I'm using base rock for the 2nd structure.

    The wavemaker I am running is a Jebao PP-8. I got 2 in hopes of running them both, but I am only running one on it's lowest setting.. LOL it's a super strong super price efficient wavemaker

    So a little bit about my sump. I've got a 3 chamber system. In the first chamber I've got a Octo 110-INT skimmer with a filter sock. The second chamber has my established live sand from my IM 20 with a heater and the third chamber is holding my return pump and soon mt IM ATO system. I know the...
