Here is a couple more pictures today. Hopefully the filters make them a little better to see.

That’s super cool! Did you choose reds and orange tones to add a lava effect?

Yes that is what I was going for. Ill probably add more colors later but figured it was a good idea. I think I want to add this Bubblegum Monti to the top like it’s the explosion.

Also bam bam zoanthids to make it seem like the lava is spilling of the side of the volcano

Lights: Nicrew Hyper Reef LED’s

Flow: Hygger waver maker
Upgraded return to a Sicce Mimouse.

Tanks looking good!

That is the hagger mini powerhead? How do you like it?
D
Yes it’s the 1600gph. So far I like it a lot. Full controllable and plenty of different modes. I have it set on the lowest setting which is 40% and it’s a little heavy for the 3g, but I will keep my eye on it and see if I need to go a step down.

Your tank looks amazing!!! What flow mode do you use with Slw5? Trying to figure out setting and placement in my 13.5 and coral placements
Thank you so much! I haven’t been able to most any updated FTS so I’ll try to add one to this. I use it in the wave mode. I think it is the second light from the left. And the power all the way at the lowest since it is only a 3 gallon.
