Hi my name is Luc and I am building my first ever saltwater aquarium in college.

The first tank pictured. spec
-deep blue 20 by 20 drilled 35 gallon tank with stand
-lighting are 3 current marine pro ( old version with 60 degree lens)
-sump is an ice cap 15
-protein skimmer is a vortex omega 130

The second tank is on the other side of the wall...
- it is a 20 gallon long that i am planning to turn into a display refugium with a deep sand bed and mangroves
-light, no one yet, planning to use a finnex fuge ray

everything here is plumber together holds water and is all used

35 gallon cube is setup and I think I have an aquascape I like. Any recommendations are all welcome. Tank is just about done cycling, pictures are from a few weeks ago

the connected 20 gallon fuge is set up as well, it has a 250w plant spectrum metal halide about it hopefully for mangroves
