56g rise of the Phoenix

[swayd]

So I'm back again! This time I have already built my tank and it's been running for about 4 months. I went overboard on the "sump" and went a completely different route on substrate. This system has about 25 different types of zoas and a few LPS and SPS laying around. My goal for this system is for it to be filled with all kinds of coral but mainly SPS. Well enough blabbing here is the good stuff, and I apologize in advanced for the quality of pics. I am learning how to use my S8 to take pictures.

Equipment
56g marineland tank drilled
100g Rubbermaid sump
160swc skimmer
Jebao rw8 and rw15
Jebao 6000 return pump
Ocean revive light. Forgot exact name
Brs diy auto top off
Finnex titanium 500w heater
Jebao pp4 doser (not in use yet)
Brs dual reactor with ROX and high capacity GFO

Right now I have a ton of zoas and a few SPS. Goal is to cover bottom of the tank with pretty zoas and LPS, then populate the rock work with SPS soon.

Well, welcome back and looks like you're off to a good start. Looks very nice.

Thank you, I have essentially had this system running for about a year now, it has just b een moved around from house to house. I finally found a place where I will be staying for a while and decided to go with an enormous sump.

No updates as of now. The test SPS I got a couple weeks ago are doing well and encrusting nicely. I plan on actually running to my LFS today and maybe grabbing another 1-2 acro frags. Other than that I am trying to keep my hands out of the tank and letting it do its own thing!
