My first and not my last reef tank! Can't wait to get bigger one and only been doing this for a month lol
Picked up this already established and set up tank from someone locally with livestock included for $150 couldn't pass it up.
Had a MASSIVE nitrate spike and salinity was upwards of 1.03 so worked those kinks out over first 2-3 weeks before adding more live stock.
And noticed after research I wanted that GSP off my rock scape and need to radicate Xenia too. So chipped off the GPS so it has its own island! And by that time had parameters in check a local hobbiest was selling a Bubble gum Digi frag that I got from him and mounted up top!
Well...then the land slide of excitement hit and I found a local suppler that does some cool auctions and got myself in trouble lol (see 3rd pic) aaaaand got a few more corals
1) Large sps frag 20
2) 3p snake polyp 30
3) Hammer 30
4) Crazy acan 3 30
5) Scrambled eggs 15
6) Zoa 2
7) shroom discoma
8) Red Glitter chalice 20
9) Smooth skin Acro 15
10) Rainbow cloud sps 29
11) Cloudy eye cyphestrea 10
12) Green purple polyp Acro 18
13) Martian Chalice 20
14) Dragon soul favia 15
15) Cynaria blue mouth 43
16) Crazy Gonestrea 20
17) chalice
Currently looking and researching them all as they acclimate and I find the low and higher flow areas for them all before they find their final resting places (I have no idea where to place them all 
)
And that's where I am today.
Fluval upgrades so far:
InTank media baskets
Jabeo SWL-5 sine wavemaker
Hippargero AquaKnight A029 light
Sicce .5 return pump
Prism ATO on the way
Thoughts? Reccomendations? Coral placement?
P.s. eventually I want to probaby upgrade to a AI Prime HD light
