The reef is coming along nicely
I recently added a few more corals to the tank, a clean-up crew, and fish.
I added hermit crabs, a six-line wrasse, cleaner shrimp, emerald crab, and some cool corals.

Please, let me know what you think of my 40-gallon shallow reef build.

This is the one- month update on the tank:

Love the YT channel thank you so much for posting! I’d love to know more about ur set up your corals all look so good. I don’t see an ATO or doser I assume you do weekly water changes? Also what lights do you have on that tank?

My question is how you keep your tanks with such minimal filtration (or lack thereof). I want to attempt something as simple as you in a 10 gallon. I don’t want fish but I want to feed things like micro lords and Zoas which probably would be the only two coral types I’d keep in the tank. I get I can add filtration to make my life easier but cost always adds up swiftly.
