3.7g SPS Pico Build

Yea gunna be a challenge for me cause I have 3 other reef tanks up and running right now also lol
 
Wow, you are energetic! I have had several big tanks at a time in the past but now have a “90” - Red Sea 425xxl - and a “40” - Red Sea 170. I find it taxing to keep up with those even though they are in a dedicated room and virtually everything is automated, even water changes.
Ha! We didn’t have them all at the same time. I couldn’t ever have done that. As it was, we did one 20% water change on the 500 and decided after that, we wouldn’t do another unless it was an emergency. Our RO/DI unit was in the laundry room and was plumbed through the ceiling and directly to the tank. It had 4 x 400 watt MH and 8 rows of actinic t5’s. It was an absolute beast. Had to hire a moving company to bring it from the LFS to the house!

U have a pic of that tank?
 
As much as I'd like a fish, I'm going to keep it bare bottom. So I'll stick with a shrimp.
I like my cleaner shrimps better than my fish to be honest. So much more character. Super aggressive but in a friendly manner. I love to see them dance around the tank. Can’t wait to see this come along. :)

Me neither! Hopefully getting my first few test pieces in next week.
