Hi all,
Been lurking here for over half a year, and occasionally posting. Figured it was time to share/document my build.
Equipment:
VCA Random Flow Generators (2)inTank fuge basket Filter socks x2
Mingdak LED Aquarium Light for Fish Tanks,18 LEDs,7.5-Inch (fuge light)Tsunami ATOIM ATO pump (works much better, was having head pressure issues driving water 5')Toms Aqua Lifter ATO pumpIcecap 2K gyre
Tenants:
1x Firefish
Corals:
Florida Ricordia (not doing well)

Budget is a concern, as is flexibility. Ideally I'd like as random a flow as I can get, which isn't probably possible with just one powerhead, but this isn't going to be a major SPS tank either, most LPS and softies. What I've narrowed it down to:
