Hi all.. I am getting back into the hobby after a 12 year hiatus.. I picked up a used 100G tank (clear for life 60x18x20), sump with pumbing + return pump, stand, canopy, sand and liverock (well, probably dead but it's live now) for like 300bucks... I have since invested a bit more for sump goodies (octopus 150int skimmer and aquamax 4" reactor), test kits, RODI systems and fully functioning mixing station, 3x Hydor Koralia 1150 circulation pumps, vipaspectra 165w reef lights... My goal was to do this on a budget but still get decent reliable equipment .. I am just at the end of my cycle and starting to add some livestock... my CuC comes this weekend and I am going to add a couple tangs too... I love how my aquascape came out... Tons of caves and flow areas... I have one Koralia pump sending flow behind the
rock structure and the other two sort of pointed at each other for flow in the front. They are moving the sand bed slowly so need to adjust them a bit. Here are some pics.

See you all around the forum!
 
Thanks I am so excited about getting back into reef keeping. I wake up every morning now and dash into the tank room while I wait for my tea water to boil so I can just stare at the tank.. which is just a pile of rocks now but oh well.. lol.
