So it begins…
Water added, with 40lbs dry rock 40 lbs live sand. I will be getting some live rock this weekend.

this will be a mini reef, not sure what fish yet but soft corals and LPS are likely.

125 FOWLR to come in a few months

Nice looking tank!

 

[PhishMonger84]

its a little cloudy! but hopefully today she clears and then i can organize the cords into a less spiderwebby mess

 

[PhishMonger84]

Slightly less cloudy, can atleast see some of the aquascape. Salinity is too high at 1.04

baby steps!

How’a the scape looking?
Should I move the skimmer to the AIO dropin?

I like the aquascape! Gives fish plenty of room to hide in.

Looks good. How do you like their aio kit?

Easy to use, easy to setup. Running the pump wide open and it produces nice flow. I’m uncertain if I can add lock-line extensions to the nozzles.
I wish it had magnetic brackets, my silicon job leaves a lot to be desired.

Rescaped after observing flow and dead spots.

Ordered a CUC from reefcleaners

Adding a few chromis this weekend for interest

Skimmer running, got a free GSP frag when i bought live rock, may have been too early but I'm hoping it does well. one of my favorites

I loved the old scape But you have an eye for it, so I am sure this one is great, too.

 

[PhishMonger84]

I'll take pics tonight; the new design allows for more coral placement and additional hides.

[PhishMonger84]

Morning view. Same rocks just a new layout with no dead spots, more hides and coral placement spots
