Hey Reefers! I've been kicking around setting this system up for awhile. I almost sold the tank awhile back but decided to shut down the JBJ 30 AIO and set this one up. Very happy I didn't sell it!!
Currently, I also have my Miracles 110g system in the living room and really miss it not being in my office (since we relocated), so now I have the perfect desktop companion! I will be stealing frags from my main system and picking up a few things here and there to fill the tank up. My other build is over here ------> https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/dbs-miracles-110-journal.173957/
The tank was made by PicO Aquariums in 2014 and I recently discovered that (Chris) is no longer making these systems...
This is the main reason I decided not to sell it. Ok, so enough of the small talk, here are the system specs:
Tank - 18" x 18" x 9" (starphire) AIO
Circulation - MP-10 with custom splash guard from PicO Aquariums and the custom PicO return pump.
Skimmer - no clue on the brand, it came with the JBJ 30, used. Works for now, but will be upgraded eventually (leave comments on your favorite nano skimmers please!!)
Heater - Ebo Jager
ATO - Tunze Osmolator with a 5g jug, will probably run Kalk with top off.
Controller - I'm using my old AquaController Jr. (still works great!)
Filtration - I use filter pad in the top tray, Chemipure Elite and Purigen, as well as seeded MarinePure bio-spheres for biological filtration.
Lighting - Current light is my desktop work lamp (LED) with a moonlight flex fixture (lol) I just purchased a Nanobox Mini Tide Plus M from Dave and he said I should get it the first week or so of March!
Rock & Sand - CeramEco VidaRock bonsai pieces (3 total) and CaribSea CORAline crushed shell mix (larger pieces) and CaribSea Aragamax oolite sand. I have a peppermint pistol shrimp, so I wanted a good variety for him to build with. My 8-year-old daughter named him Bob the Builder...
I had the bonsais in the JBJ for the last year or more, so they are fairly encrusted with coralline, pods, worms, a few zoas and a few aiptasia....
I have a peppermint shrimp doing his thing, I'm down to 2 aiptasia that I can see. No food going in the system since I moved my fish elsewhere, so he will eventually eat them.
Inhabitants - as of now all I have is the peppermint shrimp, pistol shrimp, female emerald crab, scarlet hermit and a few snails. I am going to get a goby for the pistol, probably a Yasha. I'm still undecided on what else I am going to add... Suggestions welcome!!
As far as corals, I think I will do my usual and have a mixed reef, probably focusing on zoas and a few SPS / LPS. Since this is my stress relief throughout the day, as I work at my desk, I will want some movement, maybe a torch and some hammers.
So, I think that pretty much covers it! Please comment, good or bad!! I don't bite and I do enjoy the conversation!! Thanks for stopping by!

Any progress or direction with your new tank? I'm looking forward to it!
Haha, kidding! I have a 150 gpd BRS RO/DI, dual membrane and love this thing! I hold water in a 55g food grade container / drum and I use HW-Marinemix salt. I LOVE this salt. It mixes VERY clean and VERY fast, no residual in my mixing container and the parameters are where they need to be. I've been using it for 6 months or so and couldn't be happier.
