So I guess it’s about time to start a build thread!
Equipment list:
AI Prime 16 HD
Nero 3 wave maker
BRS titanium heater with Ink bird controller
Sicce Silent 1 return pump
Tunze nano ato
IM nano drop in UV sterilizer

Fish Stock list:
Blue spot jawfish named Billford by the GF
Two black ice Picasso clowns
Six line wrasse
Royal gramma
Longnose Hawkfish
The Sixline and Royal Gramma weren’t planned additions but I got them from a guy in a LFS parking lot that was going to just flush them because the store wouldn’t take them in after he dismantled the tank. So I’m a little over stocked but nitrates are steady at 5ppm and phosphate undetectable.

Coral List:
Trumpet coral grew from 6 heads to 15+
Duncans started as 2 heads now 6
Wall octo spawn
Neon hammer
4 different gonis
2 different alveopora
Orange monti cap
Orange lepto
Dragon soul favia
Gold chalice
Cabbage leather
10 different zoanthids all grown from 1-2 polyp frags
3 different acan lords
Multiple shrooms
And a couple other minor corals
Oh and a small rbta

also various snails and hermits a dwarf conch and skunk cleaner shrimp.

Open to all criticisms and suggestions! Thanks for looking!

So I added a couple colors to the goniopora garden! Mainly reds with a purple and green thrown in. Also picked up a couple acans and a torch that I just can’t seem to get right in my tank. Trying to find out what flow it likes.
Todays parameters are:
Temp 76.8
Salinity 1.205
pH 8.2
Cal 470 a little higher than normal?
Alk 9.2
Mag 1260
Phosphate 0.1
Nitrate 5 ish hard to tell on api test
Please leave any comments or suggestions open to all criticism. Also please share if you have any tips to help my torch get in stride. Thanks!

Quick little update with some new torch pics!
I’ve discovered about a half dozen aptasia I’m sure there’s a lot more lurking though. Hoping that an order of berghia nudibrachs from salty underground will handle to problem. Won’t be here till next week so hopefully they won’t explode any more. On the bright side I received three new torches from @UltraRainbowCorals.com that have settled in wonderfully. Highly recommend them! Ps I know I need to get a real camera or at least a clip on filter.

They look so good! Also just realised some flower pot corals - I’d love to keep one however a leopard wrasse is hard enough for me to keep in a nano for now

Thanks! I think that I have 10 different gonioporas and two alveoporas now they’re definitely my favorite. I’ve always liked leopard wrasse but I’ve just never seen one that wasn’t torn up at the lfs and I’ve heard that they don’t ship well.

Yeah, leopards are notorious for shipping badly. I don’t recommend them in a nano long term (Size and Dietary reasons) however, if you get a 1” one then it can fit for a few months
Although, I may have been lucky & unlucky getting mine at 1” (Her mouth is minuscule so it’ll be a challenge to get food small enough)
