This tank is just about 6 months old, got a great deal on almost the entire system from a closing LFS. Added a few pieces to make the system more stable. I recently left for the holidays and returned only to a green hair algae outbreak ( refugium still has some, didn’t want to crash removing it all at once). All considering not too bad but a water change made a huge difference.

I just wanted to list out what is currently in the system, and share some pictures to see if anyone has any suggestions. As in things to add, problems you might see occurring, and other useful advice.

It's a cool set up. I've thought about a long shallow reef tank. I think they might limit the type of coral though. You can't really have a bunch of acros with LPS right under them in a shallow 16 inch tank but it would be cool seeing a tang cruising a 7 foot long reef.
