Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum and wanted to introduce myself and share my tank with you all. I've kept fish and amphibians for about 20 years. I just recently upgraded my little JBJ 12 to this 30 GAL Rimless LED set-up. I wanted to try and grow SPS, but didn't want the electricity bill and chiller. Seeing some good results with LED, so I decided to jump on board. I built the stand myself and ordered the rest through a LFS. I seeded it with LR and LS from the JBJ and ran 5ML Microbacter7 daily for the first two weeks. 3 weeks in I transferred my coral and fish. The tank is about a month old in the most current pictures below.
Comments are welcome.

I picked up a ORA Green Stylo at the local aquarium expo and my buddy gave me a little piece of Green Acro. I'm not exactly sure what it is (ID??). Let's see if this thing can grow some SPS!
