Hello! After years in the freshwater hobby I saw a video of gold torch corals and I decided to take the plunge as a birthday present to myself. I bought a used RedSea Max Nano G2 XL which is now in a fishless cycle in my tiny Quedns, NY basement. I thought the redsea problems were limited to the reefer models, but have since heard otherwise, so I’m off to a questionable start. But hopefully it holds up.

I’ll post a build thread shortly!
