[QUOTE="Anubisxii, post: 7625264, member: 152677"] So i'm new to the reefing hobby and have only posted once about cycling the tank (typical right) But wanted to share my build with everyone. I purchased a a Cobalt C-Vue 18G AIO tank, was not the cheapest option but i'm happy as it came with everything I need out of the box and did not need to piece together a bunch of stuff. Went to one store and picked it up with items listed below. Tank -> [URL='https://www.cobaltaquatics.com/products/c-vue-aquarium-kit?variant=3723478368285']Cobalt C-Vue 18G AIO[/URL] <- CoraLife LED Light (replaced with RedSea 50 LED) Link -> [URL='https://www.redseafish.com/hardware/reefled/']RedSea Light[/URL] <- Once I got coral I just wanted more than the $60 light I originally purchased 14 Lb Live Rock 1 Bag of 20 Lb(?) live sand. Amazon Heater - Off brand, its turned on once since the tank just hovers at 77 F. Inkbird WiFi Heater/Cooler temperature controller that the heater is plugged into. APC 550 ES battery back up that I repurposed from my office. Misc maintenance supply's. *********************** I set everything up and let it cycle. Its been a few months and I have since added. 5 Snails total; 1 Mexican Turbo Snail, 2 nassarius snails, 2 sand sifting snails (cant remember the name start with "A") 2 Black & white Clownfish And my significant other's favorite, a Skunk (cleaner) Shrimp. It has so much personality, It literally plays Peak-A-Boo with her. In the last week I've added 2 pieces of coral 1 GSP Frag & 1 Twizzler Zoa frag with 3 polyps. Honestly coral must be my favorite addition. ********************** So far I have fallen head over heals for the hobby. I find myself sitting and looking at the tank for at least an hour a day its been an amazing addition to my life. Attached are some pictures, not that well taken especially now with the new light everything comes out blue/purple. I hope you enjoy my little slice of nature ;Happy [ATTACH alt="IMG_20200530_224320.jpg"]1639932[/ATTACH] [ATTACH alt="IMG_20200611_141106.jpg"]1639933[/ATTACH] [ATTACH alt="IMG_20200619_160951.jpg"]1639935[/ATTACH] [ATTACH alt="IMG_20200619_161004.jpg"]1639936[/ATTACH] [ATTACH alt="IMG_20200619_161023.jpg"]1639938[/ATTACH] [ATTACH alt="IMG_20200619_233614.jpg"]1639939[/ATTACH] [ATTACH alt="MVIMG_20200611_155930.jpg"]1639940[/ATTACH] [ATTACH alt="MVIMG_20200619_161016.jpg"]1639941[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
