Some time in April 2024 I had to redo my tank do to an explosion of Majano parasite. Tossed out all the sand, rock and filter media. Rock is currently basking in the sun for the summer. The tank itself sat outside in the sun for a month. So, in June I couldn't wait anymore. The tank was back on its stand with new sand added. I waited for the tank to cycle then added my fish. I should have added the dry rock to the tank at this time. But, I did't. At that time I was thinking that I was done with corals and just wanted fish. But at this time as I write this I want those really expensive pieces of bubble gum in the wet box (silly me). So here I go again.

Width: 48" (121.92cm)
Height: 16" (40.64cm)
Depth: 15" (38.1cm)
Tank's volume is approximately 11,520.0 cubic inches or 49.9 U.S. gallons, which is approximately 189.0 liters.

Current USA LOOP light system 7:00am - 5:00pm ramped up the down with on hour of moon.

Eshop sump & skimmer. *(skimmer used as needed)

Flow: Echotech MP40mQD.

Fish:

One each:
Royal Gamma - Added to the system May 2021
Scopas Tang - (Zebrasoma scopas) added June 2021.
Banggai cardinalfish
Coral Beauty

Softies:
Ultra Rock Flower Anemone - added April 2021.

Looking to add some dry rock after it is cured. May take several months to get the rock work into the system.
Easy to grow coral will be added to the system because Reefapolooza will be coming to town :)

Will do! Thanks for noticing. The original post had to be remove to get my sump and other items under the tank. The post it self went missing and I'm sure ending up in the land fill. Thinking what I can put there in the mean time.
