Hey everyone!

I have been keeping a saltwater tank for a little under 2 years now. First fish and then started into corals ~9 months ago. Addicted now haha. Currently have a mix of SPS (acros, monti caps, digis) and LPS as well. Lots of great info on this site that I've used during this awesome learning and growing time with my tank. Wanted to say thanks for all the useful information I've received from you guys and also to officially introduce myself.

Stand: Coralife BioCube 16 Stand
Rock: LFS dried former live rock
Sand: CaribSea Ocean Direct (used the whole bag)
Lighting: AI Prime 16HD (mounted ~11 in above water, running AB+ program from BRS)
Heater: none, but have Chill Solutions Chiller, keep temp stable at 79.5 F
Circulation: Cobalt MJ1200 return, Small return pump (~150gph) for chiller, 1 AI Nero 5, 1 Hydor Koralia pumps with Hydor Smart Wave controller
Skimmer: nah
Filtration: InTank Media Basket , stock cotton+carbon Biocube cartridges
Filter Media: Top to bottom: Purigen, Chemipure Elite, Seachem Matrix
Salt: Tropic Marin Pro
Top Off/Dosing: AutoAqua Smart ATO system, Kamoer X1 Bluetooth dosing pump (for All for Reef)
