Hey what's up R2R. Coming out of Indianapolis. Finally registering to the site.

60 gal rimless cube. Eshops overflow

Eshops wet/dry. Bio balls removed, live rock filled first section under water

Bubbles magus c3.5 skimmer

Jebao rw-8 and 2x nano 240s. - I am wanting to get a gyre 130. I do not like the flow I am getting right now

Lighting will be my next upgrade. Currently running a current orbit 24"- I know it is weak. And 2x 8" reef brite LEDs
Looking for suggestions on best led light solution. Or thoughts on possible t5/mh combo.

Heres some pics of the tank. It's been up close to 3 months.

78.8°
1.026 salinity
.5 nitrates
.03 or less phosphate
8.2 pH 9 dkh 500+ calcium
Magnesium was testing 1500+ on my salifert kit.

Live stock - 4x fresh water black mollies that have been in there since I started the tanks cycle. Started with 6, lost 1 initially, other one swam into my pump while it was paused for feeding and was turned to sushi.

1x bi color chromis
1x lawnmower blenny
1x cleaner shrimp
Crabs and snails for CC.

A green star polyps that's growing fast

A wall frogspawn that looks good but doesn't seem to extend very far. Flow / depth placement restrictions due to lighting.

Pulsing Xenia on a barnical shell

A frag with 3 mushrooms - blue green color

A encrusting monti frag seems sone growth. Pink with bright green polyps.

A acro frag with bright neo green polyps. So far both sps seem to be happy up high under the reef brite strips

And last, the newest addition. A nice pretty, colourful, Rose bubble tipanemone.

Well here's some pics. I'd appreciate any feedback. This is a work in progress and also a learning voyage. I have some upgrades I would still like to make . Over all currently a happy reefer.

Here's some updated pics. Upgraded the lighting. Moved some rock around. Added clown and few corals.
