Started this Fluval 13.5 in late July, so it’s been running for about three months now.


The tank is mainly LPS with a few softies and some test frags of SPS.
Lighting is AI Prime 16HD, tuned toward a slightly blue-heavy spectrum for that deep ocean glow.


My favorite pieces right now are the neon green Doughnut Coral in the center and the WWC Cosmic Bounce Chalice in front — both doing great under moderate flow and balanced light.


I’m hoping to gradually fill out the scape with a few more SPS and other pieces while keeping the system stable long term.
Any suggestions or feedback from fellow reefers are more than welcome!
