Alright so it's time to get back into the hobby. Just my luck I've got a 36g bow front layin around and the stand to go with it.

Im not quite ready to physically get this build underway (gimme 2 months or so lol), so lets think of these first posts as more like preliminary build stages. I'll start by laying out a planned equipment list and potential stocking list and then once I physically have all I need the real fun can start!

As for the equipment....

Maxspect razor 27" 160w led
1 vortech mp10
Bubble magus nac3.5 cone protein skimmer
Mag9 or mag12 return pump
20-25g DIY sump (depends which will fit lol)
1500gph glass holes overflow kit
3/4" gl*******s loc-line return
BRS deluxe GFO reactor with pump
Tunze osmolator ATO
10g rodi top off tank


So I constantly change my mind about the fish I'd like to keep, but as of this moment this is where I am (keep in mind a mixed reef)...

1-2 black and white occelaris clowns or ora black snowflakes
1 yellow assessor basslet
1 blue reef chromis
1 tanakas Pygmy wrasse



This is where all you seasoned pros come in. I do my fair share of reading on these forums, and by fair share I mean borderline excessive, but I still never get enough from reading any and all of your responses, be it good, bad, or downright ugly lol. So please feel free to comment as you wish!




Has it been 2 months yet?

Thanks! I know right? I think I might have found the right combination with those fish though. I really like that they make up the primary colors so it makes for a nice balance.

Pictures will come ASAP!
