Hello all first Id like to say the reef2rewd community is awesome. Everyone is very welcoming and helpful

here is my first salt build experience freshwater enthusiast making the switch over to the amazing world of salt.
Currently cycling the tank and have scaped it so far to my liking. Any advice is welcome
On the system are 2 Radion xr15 gen4 pros, redsea reefwave. For filtration in sump I have a bubble magus filter roller, bubble magus protein skimmer and vectra return pump

I like your rockwork.

I assume you are cycling the tank with ammonia and bottled bacteria to get nitrification bacteria established. Once nitrification bacteria are established, I strongly recommend you establish diversity of micro fauna & fana with uncured diver collected live rock & live sand.


I have ornamental sponges and several gorgonions that have sprouted from the rock after 12 months.

Adjusted the scape a bit and glued most of the rock down. Mounted all of the electrical to the inside wall of the stand and added an advanced acrylic Ato reservoir.
