Good evening y'all. Just starting out in the reefing world. Ordered my self a Fusion 40 Pro AIO, wavemaker & AI Prime HD.

It's being delivered Monday so setup should be the following week. I was considering doing Hawaiian black sand & Fiji rock for that beautiful purple look. Then letting that cycle for a month before adding my first fish. I was thinking maybe a clown pair with an anemone or maybe a good clean up crew (?) But open to ideas.

Share some pictures of y'alls 40 gal with me and if anyone has a Fusion 40, let me know what you like/dislike

Thanks y'all!

Happy Reefing

Welcome! Not sure what it was but I thought there are some drawbacks to the black sand. Also make sure you have your tank cycled for around 6 months before trying the anemone

Black sand, like black cars, looks good when new and clean but does show a lot of dirt.
