This was fish only back in 2009. Tank has been sitting since roughly thereafter. Right now I am currently looking for upgrades and will have it cycling soon, depending how long I take to get some items. Need sump/refugium, light, return pump, wave makers. The aquarium is 41" x 24" x 24". A little over a hundred gallons and will adding a 40 gallon sump, giving me an overall quantity of roughly 135 gallons.

Since my last post I have procured my lights( 2x AI Hydra 26), return pump, wave makers, heaters, new filters for my ro/di, salt, protein skimmer. Need to get a sump yet and going to go with a 40 Breeder and build that myself. Need to get some rock and I am going to go with Marco rock when I'm ready and would love some suggestions for how much I need from them( size, shape, weight.) Also sand suggestions.

I like the little island on the left. In adds a nice sense of depth.
I agree-and usually Im one of the "pack it full of rock! make a wall!" types lol
and you can use the mini island up front to grow anything super invasive so it stays put

Since my last post I have built a control/storage cabinet and today I have gotten the system up and running. Now begins the cycle.

Had to order a replacement pump today for my protein skimmer. Should be here in a few days.

OK everyone, here is an update. I now have two small chromis and a neon dottyback that my two daughters named Flash because "he is fast like lightning Dad". Also added two corals yesterday, one zoa and one mushroom.

A few days ago I noticed that I have six Feather dusters starting to grow and come out of hiding on some of my live rock. Very exciting to see.
