This was my first attempt at a saltwater tank, it's a standard aqueon 10 gallon tank from Petco. I started the build in April of 2021.
Equipment: seachem tidal 55 filled with a polishing pad, matrix and carbon.
NICREW marine led strip light.
Ai Nero 3.
Auto Aqua ATO.
Inkbird with 50watt heater, and 2 fans for summer heat.
DIY control board with switch box.
Sorry the photos didn't post in chronological order
This tank build is still an ongoing process I built my first control board a few months ago for my switch box and equipment which isn't much, but adding a switch box has been the best thing I did since adding the ATO.
Fish and coral have been doing good, have more luck with coral then fish. I've had some fish that didn't make it but the fish I do have are doing awesome. I have a captive bred clownfish, captive bred yellow watchmen goby, and a wild tail spot blenny. My watchmen is paired with a candy stripe pistol shrimp, they have been together since the start
Corals in the beginning we're easy going softies, Kenya tree, GSP, Anthelia, xeania, leathers. Lately I've been adding more LPS like candy canes, goniastria, alviopora, hammer and Duncan and even some SPS like montipora and birdsnest.
