hey guys! My tank has been up and running since 10/18/25. This is my very first attempt at a reef tank and I really love the hobby. Had some weird diatoms/ brown algae in the beginning however it’s cleared up for the most part! Just have a tiny bit that lingers on the sand and glass as you may see. All my fish are happy and growing very fast and it’s just the best feeling in the world! The few soft corals I’ve added are adjusting well and coloring up really nicely.

Equipment
Eheim jager 150w heater
Inkbird heater controller
Sicce 1.5 return pump
Jebao SOW 4 wave maker
Ai prime 16hd
Tunze ATO
Eheim everyday (when I’m outta town)
Only running filter loss for mechanical filtration

Nice! It is a joy when you get past the pesty algae.
