INTRODUCTION
What This Build Is:
Mixed reef with corals, macroalgae, fish and inverts.
Goals - Corals/Macroalgaes/Sponges:
My goal with this tank is to grow a mixed reef of corals and macroalgaes. If everything does well, I would like to eventually try to have a few different sponges such as photosynthetic plating sponge, bee sponge and red ball sponge.
Goals - Fish/Nems/Inverts:
My goal for livestock fish, nems, invert wise in the far future like maybe a year or two, I would like to add a Moyers/Ruby Red dragonet or Red Scooter dragonet and a trio of Tracy's damsels.
FAUNA AND FLORA COMING SOON!

CURRENT EQUIPMENT
Water Containers
Anyways, the next few posts I'll post a bunch of progress shots of the equipment and the build itself. I'm up for suggestions on stocking my only request is please don't tell me 75635275863 times that damsels are jerks which is why I would add them at the very end in the far future. Other than that, enjoy the thread and I look forward to your comments and I hope you enjoy the journey into the Enchanted Tikitank!
