Hi! I recently got back into this amazing hobby. I used to run a 120-gallon reef tank years ago, and it’s incredible how much the technology has changed since then!
This time I’m keeping things a bit smaller. I started a 25-gallon tank and plan to keep a pair of clownfish, a blenny, and a mixed reef. The tank is currently in its 4th week.
Current equipment:
My current livestock is one clownfish, 5 hermit crabs, some zoas, clove polyps fireworks, and some live rock. The tank was already cycling when I bought the kit, which helped with the cycling process.

Current equipment:
- Innovative Marine 25-gallon Lagoon aquarium
- AI Blade Grow lights
- FZONE ATO with controller
- Hygger Mini Wave Maker 951
- Inkbird ITC-308S temperature controller
- For cooling, I 3D-printed a holder for a 120mm computer fan, which keeps the tank stable at around 77–78°F.
- DIY cover made from window screen, with a 3D-printed feeding port integrated into the frame.
