Couple weeks into cycling my first reef tank. The build is a 20 gallon long tank with live sand and macro rock. Filtration is a aquaclear 50 (not sure on what I’m gonna be using for media besides probably carbon and some sort of filter floss) as well as a aqauready bullet-1 hob skimmer. A nicrew hyperreef 50w light and a hygger dc wave maker. Hoping to learn the basics with this tank before moving into the 40 breeder with Fiji-24 sump I have sitting in the garage
 
Sounds like a real solid start! Can't wait to see pictures of your aquascape!
 
there are plenty of threads and very helpful members here to help get ya educated.
 
Welcome and good luck with your tank bud, make sure to post some photos when its ready sounds like you got it
 
I love nanos! 20 gallons is a perfect start! Have fun and ask any questions whenever you need on R2R! I hope your reef comes to life and flourishes!! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
