My Big Beautiful Budget Breeder Build

Tank looks great, I really like the clean look of the aquascape.

Thank you! Probably adding a few more pieces of rock as I’m only around 25 lbs but hope not to change the minimalistic aquascape to much.. every tank I have ever set up has been a “wall” of rock so looking to do something different and hopefully it will help with flow, lots of room for corals and open space for fish to swim. I have some bio material in the refugium and will be adding biospheres to sump shortly to offset lack of rock.

Want to cut a piece of my Miami hurricane for the new tank, but it’s attached to glass and growing through holes on my frag rack so it will probably be a pain to get out of my nano

Thanks! ATO works great so far I guess time will tell.. my revisor only last a couple days but it’s also small enough if I have a failure it’s not going to effect tank to much. Best part is I have less than $60 in the complete ATO system

So I’m finally getting some decent algae growth but thankfully nothing on rocks, will be increasing my CUC population shortly to hopefully keep it like that..

My hitch hiker favia, came in with two heads about the size of a pea on a small Zoa frag.. Zoa’s long dead but the favia is looking good these days grown over plug with 10+ heads and recently started getting some orange stripes May be a candidate for the breeder..
