Dont be like that guy! I am that guy. I'm David from Huntsville, AL. Figured I would introduce myself and give a little run down

I recently aquired a prostar v2 200 aquarium. I had a 240 tank until the tornados of 2011. After losing everything and walking away from the hobby my grandmother, that started my interest in fish, passed away. I'm now setting up this tank in memory of her. My youngest son likes fish and I am giving him this to keep fueling his interest.

Current inhabitants:
2 snowflake ocelarris clowns
2 mocha clownfish
Lawnmower blenny
6-line wrasse
Bristletooth tang
3 mollies (have seen 1 new baby)
6 mexican turbos
10 red leg hermits



Current setup:
Prostar rimless v2 200
Red sea Reefer dc 600 skimmer with controller.
Apex A3 pro
Trident and Trident NP testers
DOS pump
DDR DOS reservoir
2 Kessil A360XE w/dongle
1 AI Reef Edge 44HD
2 aquatop MCP-5
Orlushy pump (? Size) for return pump

Future plans
ReefRun G2 12000 return to replace orlushy
5 Stage BRS premium plus RO/DI
MXM Mobius module for APEX
APEX Controller toggle box.
Designing my own 3d printed display shelf for apex setup. (If any interest I could make a thread for it)

Any suggestions to equipment that anyone may have or will this be an ok setup? Things have changed alot since 2011.

The mollies were my grandmothers favorites along with swordtails. Thats why they are around.
