Hello all,
I have set up my fusion 20 reef about a month ago and wanted to do a build thread on it to get some input! A few years ago, I had a 180-gallon reef which was thriving for several years but had to take it down and sell it because as usual life gets in the way! Now I've got the reef itch again and decided to try out the im fusion 20.

Equipment:
Im Fusion 20
2 filter socks (switching to media baskets very soon, the socks suck!)
100w heater
digital thermometer
Tunze Nano ATO
AI Prime HD with gooseneck
MJ1200 return pump (looking to upgrade to DC to have more control
IceCap 1k Gyre Pump (sold it b/c it was too strong, now getting vortech mp10WQD)
2 kamoer x1 bluetoth micropumps setup for automatic water changes (25% total each week, with everyday doing about half a gallon.)
20lbs of rock
20lbs of indo-pacific sand

Livestock:
1 ocellaris Clownfish
1 small frag of neon green goniopora (just added yesterday)

What do you guys think of my setup so far?

i am doing small water changes everyday to minimize the need for a skimmer, so far its working very well. As for chemical, i may run chemipure blue at some point.
