Nice start, we’ve all probably had a similar setup that lead to larger builds!
But that looks like a 20g with 2 HOB powerfilters(the biowheel and something else I can’t make out). I’d still assume that your nutrient levels are probably a little on the high side and the tank probably entails a fair amount of maintenance as a result. What I would do is replace one of those filters with a HOB type skimmer. Otherwise it’s nice. Can’t wait to see it with some corals!

Thank you! And yeah I plan on upping the filtration and then adding in a small anemone! I had some Zoa growing on the rock so I’m excited to see how they turn out too!
