Hello! I'm just getting back into the hobby and am very excited!

A few years ago I had an 88 gallon Red Sea mixed reef tank that I loved but had to take down. I'm in college now, and have been itching to setup a new reef tank. I recently picked up a 15 gallon AIO cube and am using my old Red Sea LED 90's (probably overkill lol). I setup the tank last week using Caribsea life rock and live sand. I'm attempting a fish in cycle (which I know may be controversial) and already have two small clowns. I'm testing the water daily, have prime on hand, and am ready for any emergency water changes. I'm also currently considering seeding the tank with some live active media or rock either from an online dealer or a LFS.

I'm excited to get back on this community and looking forward to continuing learning with this new smaller tank. Happy to take any advice!
