I thought I would start a new build thread. My original thread/tank is in limbo while I await my new, bigger tank so I thought I would start one on my new tank I took ownership of last week. I was trolling FB Marketplace (much to my wife's chagrin) and ran across a post for a macroalgae tank. The price seemed VERY good (almost too good) so I jumped on it. The build went into my wife and I's office where it gets lots of natural light!
Equipment Specifications:
Tank: Deep Blue 30 gallon rimless
Light: Radion XR15 G5 Pro w/ ReefBrite Actinic Supplemental lights
Sump: Eshopps RS-75
Filtration: VCA NOSOK 4"
Powerhead: AI Nero 3
Return: AI Axis 40
Heater Controller: Inkbird 306
Heater(s):
Main: Finnex 250w heater w/ controller
Back-up: Hygger 50w heater w/ controller

Tank Inhabitants:
- Mocha Storm Clown

The mangrove was grown from a small sprig I got when I lived in Florida which I grew in a 5 gallon bucket. Now I have a place to continue to grow it out! I'm hopeful the roots continue to spiral around and create more swim-through/structure for fish.
