Finally got some time to post up the newest addition to my family. Aquatop 24G About 2 months in added some inverts, corals, fish past 2 weeks. So far so good parameter wise and still looking to upgrade some things. Recently added a pair of phantom clowns to the mix and a Anemone that were tank raised together, they seem to be loving it so far. More to come soon!

Thanks guys! Really liking this Radion as its my first time with it as my LFS uses them pretty much across all their frag tanks so i nabbed their schedule this way i can keep corals happy from the start. Was a nice penny but found a new Radion XR15w Pro for $365 i couldnt pass up on. After the mount and reef link still was around $550 total but well worth it in the end. Jebao RW-4 works well with this set up on lower to mid settings it seems...

Pic from my LFS -

Nice-looking tank. I really like the way the rock looks. Congrats on your Radeon, and the new tank inhabitants. [emoji106]

Thanks! The bubble coral is definitely something. At night looks like a piece of bone and looks for food with its tentacles. Really interesting to say the least vs. other corals at night.

My aquatop just turned 2 months not long ago as well. After some issues and surprisingly great service from aquatop its back on the road to growing more. Still have a lot to do but it's finally starting to get there. Great tank for the money! Sorry only pic of corals was when I was feeding and nothing was extended.

Looks fantastic. You use the stand space very well and it looks so organized!

Don't get me wrong, I'm just sharing. We put a lot of personalized touches in our tanks! Yours is looking great too. The aquatop doesn't get near the credit it should. Although the stock equipment isn't worth to much but it will run with it. The tank alone is worth the cost of the whole package. I won't bash the biocube but I had one and didn't keep it long.

Well been almost a year now with the set up i have had and also have a second 24g across from it housing seahorses and some soft non stinging corals aside from another 20g Long nano tank upstairs. I haven't had time to come on but hope i can post some more cool updates and photos of the tanks soon again. I have been through the ups and downs but for the past number of months the parameters and everything have been on point pretty much. Tank is stable and has many Zoanthid frags i been collecting the past year, aside from that, Favia's, many Mushroom types, Acan's and Mainly LPS/Soft along the way. Stay tuned!
