After being out of the hobby for 8+ years I finally got the itch to get back in. Here is my build!

Reef keeper lite w/ temp probe for temp control
Jebao DCW 2000 return pump
1X AI Prime 16hd (will add another down the road)
1x Dual head cooling fan
1x Marina 100w heater
1x currently running my old wave pump (this is getting replaced thursday with a Nero 3)
1x jebao 2.4 wifi 4 channel doser (for awc and ato)
1x media rack running activated carbon crushed rock and floss other side runs floss and bio balls
4th chamber is going to be a homemade refuge

20lb live sand.
Custom build stand hollow for storage and all controls!

I will be adding a second doser as I add corals that need it !
