After two years of my 40 breeder running, I moved everything over to a 125 gallon. The 125 has been running for almost a year now, but I got the itch for another smallish tank. I've been getting into acros the past year and I loved the idea of a shallow reef tank with all acros. No sacrifices for a full mixed reef like in my 125, just tons of light and flow. So come along for the ride if you're interested!
This tank will be focused on creating a beautiful acro dominated shallow reef. The location I want it in my house doesn't really have great viewing angles. The position is in kind of a walkway next to some stairs. So for that reason, I'm wanting to focus on creating an amazing top down view. I'll be doing this through the aquascape of course, but also by having a single button to press to slow the pumps for a few minutes, a very short stand, and enough clearance above the tank to pop your head in whenever you want.
Goals (will talk about these in future responses to this thread)

- Have an acro dominated tank with some supporting corals
- Create a beautiful top down and front view for 2ft x 3ft shallow tank
- Create a tank that invites you to easily look top down into it
- Make it easy to frag acros and keep the acros growing in a shape I want
