New 180 mixed reef

[shoelaceike]

Hi, I finally leveled the tank I've been waiting to set up. I ended up shimming it and it was easier then I thought. Livestock had been in a stock tank for a month and I just put everything together yesterday.

180 gallon Marineland RR with Marinland Monteray stand

Sump is a 50 gallon tank without baffles. 2 filter socks (homemade)

Reef Octopus 150 INT

Tunze top off

1 XF-150 for flow

see pics below!

Thanks. They start up about 20 and go to 13 over the course of the day and then back to 20 at night

I am going to make a recommendation if you dont mind. I would keep your mushrooms isolated by themselves on a rock away from the other liverock. They will spread and cause you issues down the road. Just my opinion.
