Following, love the tank dude. Gonna be upgrading to the same tank when I move and have more space!
Ayy thanks brotha, only 2 months in but we'll see where it goes. I'm loving the tank but honestly already thinking about either getting maybe a 25 gal or maybe even bump up to a 40gal... It's so hard not to want more and I haven't even got started, wanna wait at least 6 months before I really start putting any corals in haha so might upgrade before then and keep this one as well.

This hobby has the awful effect of constantly making you want more of something. More coral, more fish, more space to put them, more lighting, more live rock, more equipment, more copepods... it’s a wonderful never-ending rollercoaster of fun, with no clear end. Perfect for a hobby

Been awhile since I updated, everything's going pretty good so far. Had some minor blooms of algea on the rocks and sand but nothing crazy. Honestly haven't been doing much just kinda letting it run its course other then a weekly water change 10-20 %.

Also picked up a bunch of corals from reefapalooza this past weekend

So it's been awhile since I've posted an update, still waiting for the ai prime 16hd and the lid.

On a side note though I have purchased a few more corals, been getting alot from kush corals and so far I can't complain at all. Everything is doing great beside the little cyano that I've been fighting.

Great nano tank you have there!

You mentioned earlier one of the clownfish had a white spot on him/her - did you treat with anything? I was under the impression Coralreeftn quarantins their livestock or I might be wrong?
