My first try was a DIY biocube concrete build. After 6 months of curing and cycling, tank cracked on me after a few months of running. Out of hobby sale followed. One item I could not sell was my 22gl cube sump.

Fast fwd, I got the itch again and picked up a 45gl.

What started as a budget 45gl has slowly been turning into a high tech tank (imo).

30" Chinese black box
2 MP10WQD
ROSSS110 skimmer
BRS125 algae reactor (I think that's the name)
Deepwater aquatics DC return pump
Aquamedic evo 4 doser (in transit)

Not to sure all the names of my corals, I know right now LPS and softies have my attention. One green SPS but I'm not digging it.

Just got back from calikid's with a flame blasto and a ultra blasto (really into blasto rn).

Pardon the Note8 pics, pretty hard to get clear pics.

Thx for looking. Mainly posted so I can reference back in a few months :)
