hey guys and gals my name is matt, I have decided to start a build trad on my upgrade from my fluva 9 month old 37 gallon to my DSA 105 gallon with a 40 breeder sump.

Starting with my fluva 37gal it is a all in one tank with 4 chambers in the back of the tank first chamber has all my mida in it witch then flows in to the protein skimmer section then followed by my little refigum that is just rock ruble and chato, then flow in to my return .

I am running a eshopps 75 protein skimmer on it with a jabeo mp10 wave maker at one end, and just a power head at the other. my lights are 3 t5 ATI atinc and I have ever a custom set of rapid leds lights as well.

my live stock is a mixed reef but dominantly sps with a 2 softies a few Lps and some zoa's. for fish I have 2 clowns, 1 pygmy angle, 2 cardinals, a cleaner shrimp, orange spotted watchman/pistol shrimp pair. I have around 45 lbs of rock and about 20 lbs of sand in the tank.
