Excited to upgrade from my lifegard 10 gallon AIO to this UNS R60 (32.5gal display and 13gal sump). I scored a good deal on It from the reefapalooza show in September.
9/7
Tank fit too perfectly into this Nook in the living room, i had to get it. I have been slowly piecing this together. I added water and I moved a few pieces of live rock i had from my 10 gallon into the sump to try and kick start the cycle. (using Red Sea Blue bucket)
9/23
I was looking for more rock at my LFS for my scape and they didn't have a lot but then he goes in the back and pull out this piece and I had him attach it to a base for me to support the top.
Added sand and rock to the tank
9/28
With some help from Vivid Creative Aquatics i ordered two 1/2" Random Flow Generators. Unfortunately I was having issues with the stock return nozzle ball joint to attach to some locline. It was about 1mm too large, so i took some sand paper to it until the locline fit perfectly so I could use the RFG as I intended.

After about a month delay i finally received my Radeon g6 xr15, I also got a 3d printed hood to keep the glare down when sitting on the couch. I would say it was worth the wait. It gave my tank time to cycle a bit.

I purchased some Corals from SBB Corals on their live auction and moved over some of my corals from my 10 gallon.
11/22
Received my Inkbird (ITC-306A)
Currently i am waiting on more Bio media (MarinePure - Gallon Box - 1 1/2” Spheres Ceramic Biomedia) as I still need more Biological filtration.
I also have on order a Kraken Reef Custom lid, and BRS Mini Reactor - 5" Single with Sicce Syncra 1.5 Pump
I would also like to get a skimmer in the future but am not sure what would be an appropriate model (I would appreciate suggestions)
A few days ago I believe i fed to much and don't have enough Bio media and i now have a bacterial bloom. After some researching i purchased the Green Killing Machine UV to help aid in this bloom....:downcast-face-with-sweat:
Stocked:
-one (chocolate) clownfish
-5 red leg hermits
-5 Nassarius snails
-conch.
Equiment:
Return Pump- Sicce syncra sdc 6.0 (set at %85)
-(2x) VCA 1/2" Random Flow Generator
Light- Radion XR15 G6 PRO (with 3d printed shade)
