Hey guys I’ve been lurking around here for a while and I’m starting a new reef so why not post my newest build. Here’s my 15g column reef build.

Lastweek i picked up a 15g column tank from petco for $100 at petco. I really liked the shape and figured it would probably make a cool reef tank. So i bought maybe about 10 lbs live rock, pre-mixed saltwater, new hydrometer and all the other goodies.
Heres a pic of it setup so far

4/26- I managed to find a kessil for a steal here on r2r should arrive Monday.

4/29- Stopped by petco again and made an impulse buy I bought 3 small green chromis. I know I probably shouldve waited but these are some of the fish i wanted to stock the tank with and they seem to be doing just fine.
