Hello all, I'm kinda new to the hobby. About 2 years, from Tallahassee and my go to local is Hightide Aquarium ran By Mr. Scott Luck, close friend at this point. I had a couple of Nanos with good success before my current setup.

I have made 1 post previously on the forum about dinos but I beat them just by dosing phosphates (didn't imagine it'd be simple, got super lucky).

I have an 80 gallon display, 100 gallon total lagoon system. 40"W×36"L×14"T, and 40 gallon sump. Started August 1st. (See pics)

60 lbs of reef grade sand, about 60 lbs of rock, 40 of which was existing rock in a 3 year old Acro tank gifted to me by Mr. Luck.
Bubble Magus Curve 5, DIY algea scrubber (12"×7" surface light of both sides. 950 gallon return and two OW-40's.
Lights I'm running are two Ocean Revive T247B, 120 watt Leds.

Livestock: One Spot Foxface, Sailfin Tang, Pintail Fairy Wrasse, Blue Star Leopard Wrasse, 2 Banggai Cardinals, Mandarin Dragonet, and an Orange Prawn Goby.
Various Corals and such.

I love this hobby and hope to aquaculture my own corals and get into the business. Your guys input on this forum has been life saving.

Welcome! Glad you joined. LOVE your goals! Good luck to you!

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:

The Supreme Guide To Setting Up A Saltwater Reef Aquarium

This article was sponsored by @MarineDepot at www.marinedepot.com. Introduction The marine environment is one of the most complex systems on the planet. The aquarium you are about to set up is only a tiny sliver of the vast ocean, but it is no...
