My 13.5 Evo

Awesome! I can tell you’ve put a lot of time and thought into this build.

thank you so much, I am already fully addicted to this hobby, even though I am pretty much broke, lol!

relocated the Duncan and one of the zoa's and they are both happier

The Ai prime, Sicce 1.5 and some other parts have arrived, do y'all have any suggestions on what to set the light to for the day, I am about to go on vacation and I want to set a timer that will do for a permanent setting, so I don't have to mess with it ever again

I moved a rock and made this island, what corals should I put on there, open to recommendations:

no I'm still looking for a full build to do on the 1st and second chamber, When it comes to filtration I'm a complete beginner, I really need some solid recommendations and strait forward build ideas

So as of now I'm only using filter floss and bio-media with the a daily 5mL manual dose of Stability (nitrifying bacteria) plus the chateo in chamber one. I had Chemi Pure Blue in, but had to pull it due to it bottoming out my nitrates.

depends on your goals but I think a lot of people would suggest moving your GSP to the island instead of your main structure!

Alright so I was wanting to make a post over this yesterday, but I had to program my light.

I got the Ai prime and mounting arm set up, I got a branching cyphastrea, and two normal cyphasteas for the back wall, and I got two Favia's.

Still adjusting my light for fine tunes, but if y'all have any presets for your prime, feel free to post them!

The phone camera does not do this tank justice, but I have clipped a mesh lid to the tank while I work on building the polycarbonate lid

Looks great, following along!

Dude how funny, I got my new light Monday. I went with the AI Blade

The other side view

 

[Preston's_Waters]

dude, good choice, it has the perfect spread for that tank, did you do one grow and one glow?

 

[Reef Outfit]

Great little tank! I started with one of these too. The original lights aren’t really suited for corals, but I see you’ve already upgraded them. Good job—it looks fantastic!

Check out my EVO back then



I even devised a HOB refugium for it

I ended up going with the grow

I'm new to the world of salt water and also have an Fluval Evo 52l. Just wanted to say I really like your rock scape. Will follow your progress with interest.

thank you so much and welcome, how is your tank so far, any pictures?

very nice! following along! how was cycling done?

 

[Preston's_Waters]

Not as expected, I put the live sand, life rock and half a bottle of fritz turbo start in. the next week I had some clowns and a GSP. From there I added 1-2 corals a week, and a goby shrimp pair halfway through along with a couple inverts, and here I am now.
