I asked the wife, she didn’t answer but silence is compliance. 🤙🏻🙄
It’s too late to turn back I’ve already sourced the gear from my storage totes.
 
Following!
 
Set it up with most of my old equipment:

AI Prime 16HD
Ink Bird heating Controller w/ Dual 50w Heaters
Tunze Nano 3150 ATO
AI Nero 3 Powerhead
Sicce SDC 1.0 Return pump
VCA RFG split return nozzle

Decided to run it bare bottom, will try and grow some chalice on the back wall or the bottom glass, will see what happens..

Seeded with Established media and some rock in the back chamber.

Dosed ammonia w/ Dr. Tim’s.
Will see what happens.

Plan to to remove the Euphyllia from my 100 and convert it to being SPS Dominant. So I already have the coral needed.. fish will probably be boring like a Banggai Cardina or two.. maybe a possum wrasse for flatworms.

Never done Bare bottom so interested in what challenges that entails. Especially with my lack of rock work. Trying to keep it simple.
