This is just a starter post to show my build this tank is still a baby! Started on June 9th 2018 I am running a 30g drilled nano that will become a mixed reef, I have a 30g DIY Sump I built that has 3 chambers. Tank and sump combined have 60g of water and 65lbs of live rock as well as 40lbs of live sand. Sand bed is 2 inches of aragonite with 2 inches of live sand on top.

My Equipment:
- 36" Current USA Orbit LED IC Loop Light
- Hydor Koralia 240 Circ Pump
- Jebo 1200 Powerhead
- Jebo 2400 Powerhead (Return from sump)
- AquaClear 50w Heater
- Jebo 200w Heater
- Jebo 100w Heater
- MacroAqua M-50 Protein Skimmer

I've always loved ocellaris and want to bond it with an anemone, and i love triggers but need to find a nice colored smaller species so they can grow naturally I don't want to stunt them in anyway but I honestly have bounced around so many ideas for fish lol
 
UPDATE!

Added a Royal Gramma Basslet as well as a palythoa frag some birds nest and pulsing Xenia! :)
