This is my first reef tank and saltwater setup! I've been keeping FW tanks for about 28 years and finally decided to make the jump. Actually, I cracked the inner wall of my sump by knocking the full ATO over when fiddling with the skimmer. Patched it up with some Flex Seal. Its the middle wall of glass so it isn't a risk to flood. Haven't seen too many ProStars so I thought I'd share!
Plumbing is OK. My pump is a tad oversized which is making it a bit noisier but its still fairly quiet. So far, the nitrates are a bit high and my phosphates are 0.00 so I am working on balancing that out. I'll probably up my feeding and begin lightly carbon dosing with NoPox. The sump is setup with two socks, some bioballs from Marin Fauna, a bag of Purigen and an extra bag of bio media I had laying around from my FW days (to be used to skip cycle a QT when I get one setup)
