Hi Guys! Welcome to my build thread. Little about me, I come from koi keeping. Love watching the koi swim, water chemistry, and it’s just relaxing to sit by the pond hand feeding the koi and drinking a beer. Been keeping koi for about 3 years now. Current koi pond is around 1,000 gallons and have 8 koi.
About a year ago I started looking into saltwater. I’ll be honest, I have too many hobbies as it is but the idea stayed in the back of my head and couldn’t shake it. Well, FB marketplace got me and picked up a Waterbox Cube Peninsula 25 and here we are.
Tank Goals
Build list (Updated 8/7/22)
Any ideas/changes would be appreciated for sure!

I’m new to saltwater but familiar with the nitrogen cycle, filtration, etc. Hopefully you all can guide me in the right direction with my tank so I am open to everyones knowledge!Tank Goals

- Nassarius, turbo, and trocus snails
- Conch
- Pair of clown fish
- Saddleback toby puffer (maybe, I understand the risk so it will depend on the fish itself and the tank)
