Refugium section is filled with dragon breath and Eshopps Bio-Lux bio media blocks.

I will probably add cheato to the dragon breath macro algea.

Refuge light is

Innovative Marine ChaetoMax 2-in-1 Refugium Light (18W)​

6 fish are doing great

1. A pair of clowns
2. A royal gramma
3. Starkii damsel
4. Flame Hawk fish
5. Green Chromis

Bonus: A medium-large cleaner shrimp. So far the small Flame Hawk is leaving it alone.

Also, testing out a few frag of acros and a Kryptonite candy cane coral.

I added the AutoAqua Smart Skimmer Security so the Skimmer cup would not overflow and pour the dirty skimmate back to the tank.

I also added the Ekoral Lite for controlling the tank. It has an energy bar like the one found with the Neptune Apex system.
The Ekoral Lite monitors my pH and Temperature.

I add some cheato to the fuge. Now it has both the dragon breath and cheato for filtration.

I already have an Apex Neptune with Trident for my 120 gallon tank.

So I thought I would try out the Ekoral Lite on my 20 gallon to see how well it work.

I now have the following fish:

Royal Gramma
Azure damsel
Tailspot blenny
Red wrasse
