Hello first timer here. I have kept various reefs before but never shared really. Started this tank to get back in the hobby. Tank was cycled for 3 weeks before adding coral so it's about 4 weeks old now still a baby we'll see where it goes. Just a few easy corals to start and a random sps to test this light. All chemical filtration has been removed from the back and replaced with cheato and a filter sponge. The small powerhead on the left will be replaced with a jebao 4 this week so that will be nice.

you can see the light shining through the overflow that lights the cheato, need a smaller led strip this one is too strong

I think it's worth mentioning the clown goby and ocelaris won't be staying I just needed their poop so they will most likely return to the lfs and sent to a bigger home. I've not yet decided on a fish for this tank yet suggestions are welcome

You don't have much options with a tank that small probably only one fish. Any clown goby would fit maybe a fire fish or one clown.

Pulled the trigger on an ai prime hd and goose neck apparently you don't need the controller anymore it's built in. Got a controllable powerhead as well. This light is fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone on a budget. Just really wanted the ai

That size tank I would say the main "show fish" should be Pinkstreak Wrasse, Some Possum Wrasse, Swissguard Basslet, Golden Assessor, pair of Yasha Goby, Helfrichi Firefish, Flaming Prawn Goby, White Spotted Filefish, x5 Red Dot Cardinals, x5 Minidartfish, or Hybrid Neon Goby
