Hi, I'm Kat,
I joined Reef2Reef a few months ago and have been avidly learning from you!
It's been a while in the making, but I just set up my first reef tank this morning (well added the salt water, ready to start cycling)
The tank will be an educational tool as part of a coral restoration project that I have been running in on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica for 5 years, where we grow corals in ocean nurseries to late outplant to the local reef.
Eventually we will have SPS corals that are in transition to the ocean and a couple of fish. This has been a big learning curve and I had local help to set up the tank to this stage, and thank you for all the forum posts!
The tank is 50 gallons with a 30 gallon sump
Mantis pump and wave maker
Reef Octo Overflow
Bubble Magus Skimmer
Nicrew Lighting

I'm excited for this next stage, fingers crossed and apologies if my terminology is off, still learning!
