First saltwater tank 13.5 Mixed Reef Build

[Birr83]

I wanted to share my 6 month progress and just wanted to thank this community for its willingness to teach and help out the fellow reefer.

That is turning into a great looking tank. GREAT JOB!!!

@Birr83 - Looking good! What are the dimensions of that tank (and who makes it)? I have an Aqueon 14 gallon tank that is cube shaped, but I like the flatter/shallower look of yours.

Anything else you can share regards the equipment in use?

How have you liked the Smart Aqua ATO? Any issues

Also, Are you running a light on your AC70 refugium (with Chaeto) or is it just for rubble and copepods, or? (I'm running an AC30 with Chaeto but not having wonderful success with this yet.)

No problems with the smart aqua yet. Which if any ago are you using?

Im running this light with chaeto and swapped to the ac30 impeller to reduce flow. A small amount of sea chem matrix If you go this route you need to purchase a DC adapter separately.currently unavailable on Amazon though. I think this light is too strong taped to the lid. It is Burning/bleaching a portion of the chaeto when overgrown. Working on solutions.
