15 Gallon Nano

Hi I'm new to the forum! I just wanted to post a few pictures of my setup. I am going to post the original photos of the setup and an updated photo when I get home today. The tank is a few years old now and these pictures are from after about a year after I started it. Unfortunately at my old job I was away a lot and my tank wasnt properly taken care of but I have brought it back to relative stability and eliminated the hair algae and cyano but I did have some coral die. However I have a new job and the tank is back on track.

So as promised here is the tank today! I have beat almost all of the hair algae and completely got rid of the cyanobacteria! The tank is getting back to good condition! I'm so glad I will not be traveling anymore!

It is getting better its not to where it was but I have got rid of all the cyano and about 95% of the hair algae!

My equipment list is..
1 AI Prime led
2 MP10s
1 Tunze 9001 skimmer
I dont remember what I have for a return pump

The tank is a 15 gallon with a 10 gallon sump. I have removed the light and algae from the sump because it was creating a huge issue.

Im getting ready to move once I buy a house I have a 40 gallon that I was going to move everything into but I think you have reinspired me to consider building a tank thats larger and more beautiful!

Tank update! I have decided to move to the Triton System! I just added a chaeto and a light to the first chamber of my sump and did a wc. I will grow the chaeto out over the next few weeks while still doing water changes. When my nitrates drop I will do a few 30% wc over a few days then start dosing the additives. Here is a pic of the sump.

So I have decided to hold back on the triton method since my tank is so small and decided to start after I upgrade to a larger tank. I have just acquired an Apex Controller I'm pretty excited about it! I am starting to get pretty good growth and extension of the corals. I added a two zoa and one montipora frag.
