Congrats on 2 years! I ran my a Fluval FX6 on my 90g and 40g for many years. Back in Jan I finally got a sump. Start your builders thread!

11/2022 Update:

My Cardinal, Sleeper Gobies, and Molly all passed since my last post here. I added a Midas Blenny and Valentini Puffer after that. Moved my clowns to their own tank, since my female didn't like the new guy (Blenny). Here's their setup:

20g Long
Glass lid
AI Prime 16HD
Fluval AquaClear 50 HOB
2 Koralia mini powerheads (1 @ ea. end)
Sand, Rock, a couple decorations CUC of a few snails and a couple blue-legged hermits

I also moved a mushroom rock with maybe 6 shrooms to the 20g and kept a smaller one with 2 shrooms in the DT.

Also new this year, I started a planted Freshwater tank! That setup is as follows:

29g tank
Hygger full spectrum light
Aqueon 20-40 HOB
Sponge filter
Eco Smart substrate with gravel and rocks on top
Various rocks, mopani and spider wood, several plants
CUC of 3 Amano shrimp and 4 Mystery snails

Current stock:
School of 6 Black Neon Tetras
School of 6 Pristella Tetras (2 of which are Goldens)
School of 5 Panda Corydoras
1 Clown Plecostomas

Also started a 10g FW Dwarf Shrimp tank, but so far they've proven to be pretty tough to keep. Very finicky little buggers!
