Hey guys, just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Will and I have had many tanks ranging from Nano-reefs to 180 gallon reefs/ predator tanks, etc. Two years ago I got out of the hobby when tragedy struck. My 180 gallon reef popped at the silicone, flooding my home and killing everything in the tank. When that happened I closed my tanks and made a break for it (Thousands of dollars later repairing my floors). Recently, I've been missing it so I decided to start something small again. There is now a 46 gallon bow-front with 55 pounds of live rock, a 2" sand bed, protein skimmer, refugium, T5, and some nice water flow cycling in my room. I can't wait to get back into it :) Just wanted to say hi! :tongue:
 
While I'm here, let's get some opinions. This tank had the "wife friendly" stand. Aka it looks awesome but has no room for a sump. SO I went with a CPR Medium hang on back refugium (4" sand bed, rubble, chaeto) and a HOB red sea prizm deluxe (came with the tank) in the tank I have dual koralias, and a random pump behind the rock preventing detritus build up. How does this setup sound to you? Anything else you would do?
