I thought I would go ahead and show my first reef aquarium in a few years. It’s not quite a month old yet, so I haven’t added very much, but I think it’s a good start.

Equipment:
IM Nuvo Fusion 20
2 x AI Prime 16HD Lights
Skimz SuperSilent DC Powerhead
100W Aqueon Plastic Heater
InkBird Temperature Controler

Inhabitants:
Kryptonite Candy Cane
Red People Eater Zoanthids
Red Montipora Capricornis
Hammerspawn Coral
Pink Wall Hammer
Green and Red Montipora
Green Table Acropora
Red/Orange Mushroom (Seller said it is a bounce mushroom, but I’m not really sure what it is)
2 x Orange Storm Clownfish
Emerald Crab

I think I want to upgrade the powerhead soon with an MP10 or Nero, but I haven’t decided yet.

I really like the idea of the Nero 3 if BRS ever gets it in stock. I went ahead and bought an APEX EL. Is the Nero still the best option, or should I maybe look into the Neptune Wave? I like the idea of having something controllable though fusion, but I already have to use the AI app, and I feel like the Nero's footprint is probably the best for this size.

Update.
I did buy a Nero 3 and an apex controller. I also added an ATK and the Innovative Marine ATO reservoir.
I’ve also added some new livestock:
Captive bred Derasa clam
Long polyp green acro
Sunset montipora
Several zoas
Red Acan
Goniopora
Red blastomussa

I also added a skimmer, and I’m building a CO2 scrubber for it. My next plan is to try to solve my algae issue. I bought a bottle of vibrant, so I’m hoping it’s that easy.

I love my Nero 3. It's the first PH that I've been able to get to actually create a wave effect on my euphyllia. About your algae issue though. What are you No3 and Po4 levels?
