So I’ve recently decided to switch all my coral from my problematic 5g pico build to a innovative marine 15g and I thought I’d get input from the community on filtration/ stocking choices
I currently have: 6 inch body csb
6 hermits Splatter hammer
1 trochus snail. Unknown blasto
1 cerith snail Branching cyphastrea
Great owl zoas. Og bounce
Palythoa grandis 2 yumas
Sunny d zoas Gonzo golden bounce shroom
Unknown favia colony acans and hg micromussa
Warpaint scoly
Diablo diaseris plate

What I plan to add:
Pygmy red waspfish
Need ideas for other fish

Filtration: currently stock filter sock/ stock circulation pump

Lighting: nicrew navareef 65

Looking good! I use the same light on my im 15 and really like. One of my favorite budget lights I've tried

yeah it’s got a nice variety of presets without the controller and is quiet and pretty powerful I even kept a acropora frag when I had it over my old 5g
