10 gallon build with progression pics

I have a 10 gallon with hang on the back filter/refugium. I may or may not have an addiction. Tank has been up 2 months.

Nice! It looks a lot like the 10 gallon budget nano build Inappropriate Reefer did on his YouTube channel. Is that the Aquaclear 70 HOB filter and the Aqua Knight LED? I've been really interested in making a similar build now that my first tank is approaching the 1 year mark.

It is basically the same build, I just got a filter that is black so the refugium light does not keep me up at night. But it is the Aqua Knight led. So far everything is going pretty well.

Nice. What filter is that? What filter media do tou have running in it? How loud is the filter? I have been planning to setup my unused 10 gallon as a nano reef so I could have one in my bedroom in addition to my biocube in the living room. So any tips would be appreciated.

I cut a hole in the lid big enough for the grow light I ordered off of Amazon and it has been working great. I am having to pull some chaeto out once a week. I will get the link to the light as well.
