My cadlights versa 42 mixed reef build

[reefdreamers]

Ok so this has been a long time waiting. I recently ordered and set up a cadlights versa 42. My plans are to make it a mixed reef. As far as equipment goes I have the 16 gallon sump with stock return(that's going to change) and I am using a bubble magus nac 3.5 protein skimmer. My lighting is 165 watt LED reef lighting from ebay. My future plans for lighting is the current USA loop system but I need to save some dough. I have two 800 gph circulation pumps. I used the red Sea coral pro salt and will stick with it. I have a very shallow sand bed of Carib sea reef grade sand and my aquascape is aquamax dry rock(about 30 pounds or so). I hope y'all follow my build and check out my YouTube channel to see my set up and product reviews! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcJPtPrAf9oDb2YlFSomu7w

I'm using dry rock and live sand. I also added a bottle of biospira. I was phantom feeding the tank now about two weeks and I'm already testing at 0 amonia and 0 nitrite. I'm probably going to add a few softies soon. I hope your damsels work out there differences. That's why I really dislike damsels and will never put them in a tank again they are mean. Thank you.
