I'm gonna start at the beginning here. I set up this tank last summer after failing predictably with a 5g - no fish and the few coral I had all survived except my GSP frag. I've had aquariums on and off since I was a kid. They've all been freshwater, and in the last 10years all planted. I don't remember what I saw, but about a year ago I got enamored with corals. Might have been zoas, I don't know. So here I am poorer, but loving it. There is so much I feel I need to learn. I've defiantly made some mistakes, though this forum has been very helpful when I was just lurking.
Current Equipment:
Return Pump: Reef Octopus Varios-2
Heater: Fine Titanium 300W run by an Inkbird - this is a little overkill but my room runs very cold.
Lighting: AI prime
ATO: Hydor with a toms aqualifter. I hate this thing - very finicky and needs a slower pump then the Toms.
Wavemaker: Jebao OW-10
Skimmer: Reef Octopus Classic 1500SSS - too much but it was on sale so... it works.
Current Fish:
2 ocellaris Clownfish.
Inverts:
1 emerald crab. He's surprisingly one of my favorite animals.
Various Snails
Corals:
Duncan
various Zoas
blue mushrooms
Green ricordea mushroom
I don't remember Acan
Minty Acan
Acan Bowerbanki
Orange Leptastrea
Orange plate
Now pics!
What it looks like currently:
Back to the beginning - putting together everything!

By July 13 I had saltwater!
If you read this much, thank you!
