Hello everyone starting my first tank progression thread! Tank has been up less than a week and want to share my experience.

I also started a YouTube playlist ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiaiKamfaNVD-bxCAygzwBA ) and will be uploading videos of the tank. Current in the beginning stages of a bare bottom mixed reef.

Equipment and info:
-75 Gallon CAD Lights SAIO converted to a drilled tank.
-Synergy overflow
-Trigger systems 34 sump w/float valve direct to RO System as ATO
-Skimz DC Skimmer
-Sicce Return Pump
-(2) Radion XR30s G3
-UFO 150 watt Fuge Light
-Apex Classic
-(2) MP10W

For filtration I plan on trying to stay simple. Marinepure , chaeto and fuge light. For dosing I plan on going low maintenance with Aquaforest supplements. I am on the fence about reactors. I will tackle that problem if I am having nutrient problems. I have not ordered a doser yet so I would appreciate any suggestions. As of right now it’s just going to be a jebao dp4. Thanks guys!

Nice! Looks like a great start!
 
Looking good!

Just remember that lighting is not necessary when starting your cycle.
