Hey Guys,

This is my first tank build thread even though I've had dozens of tanks in my life so be easy. All though the tank is up and running and pretty loaded with corals and fish it's still got a lot of work so be done...

The idea for the tank is in the 30L Innocative Marine will be SPS only setup bare bottom. Connected to the system will be a 10G Innovative Marine LPS only setup bare bottom. They will share the same sump. I wanted to build a system that was sleek, simple, all blacked out and easy to move when we find a house.

Stocking wise for fish for 30L is...
1 x Large Maroon Clown (5 years old)
2 x Six Line Wrasses (AEFW Control)
3 x Blue Springer Damsels (AEFW Control)
1 x Flame Hawk (He's Just Cool)
1 x Black Cardinal ( 3 years old)
When breaking down my 150 these were the fish I decided to keep...

Stocking for the 10G is really simple...
1 x Yellow and Maroon Clown Angler (My Mrs' Fish)

Equipment wise it's looking pretty simple now as I recycled much from my 150 so it's a bit overkill for 50 or so gallons total.

2 x Ecotech Radion Pro G3s w/ RMS
1 x Apex Jr. w/ PM2 Salinity, WXM and AFS
2 x Ecotech MP10s w/ Battery Backup
2 x Avast Marine ATO with the serial connection to the Apex
3 x Assorted Toms Aqualifters to move water from the 10G to the sump and ATO.
1 x 150w Cobalt Heater

In production is a crazy sick sump and ATO container as 2 separate units for each section of the stand. Dan who has built them for me has done a a great job so far and been a pleasure to work with. They have not been delivered yet so as soon as I get this up and running I will provide more details as I still have some decision making to do on equipment.

I appreciate any feedback from everyone. The pictures of the tank are not the best but I promise better ones in the future.

Thank you. Still got a bit of work to do but excited for any size tank build. I had to rip down my 150 but this should satisfy the urge for a bit.
