I recently picked up a used 24g current USA cardiff tank. Tank has been running for awhile now with no corals.
Equipment:
24 g current USA bullet style tank with stock stand
Stock cardiff skimmer- actually a pretty good skimmer
JBJ Ato
JBJ nano glo fuge light
100w neotherm heater
Radion XR15 pro with RMS tank mount
ecotech reeflink
Jebao wp1200 return pump
jebao RW-4 powerhead

livestock:
Coral beauty
Goldflake maroon pair
Ruby red dragonete
Peppermint shrimp
Fighting conch, some tiger trochus and red leg hermits.

Rock is live rock from an older system that was bonded into one piece

Will be adding things here and there but will mainly be acros and some zoas with a bta for the clowns

Got rid of the radion and went with the kessil 360we. Much better in my opinion

Much better. I think the response from the corals is a lot better. My Millie's are starting to spread and take off as well. The brightness of the radion was just too much. I tried and tried to get it dialed in perfectly but just couldn't. This kessil was a much better choice. The 360we and the controller for it make it a breeze.

Cool Tank, Love the way the corals look from a front shot.
