Thanks! I'm planning to add softies first. I really love zoas! So definitely my tank will have 50% covered with zoas. And some LPS.
And if it's mature enough, thats the time I'll be adding some SPS.

Looks like you're set to start your cycle. What are your plans for livestock?

Looks fantastic.

You really thought out and planned your plumbing well. It must feel good to have it that way.

Yeah. I really did. Like I spent couple of weeks planning and sketching out the plumbings and the stand, the lengths and the distances, sizes, etc..

Awesome little system! You sump/refugium set-up is sweet. How are you liking the AI Prime? I have one and think it's great so far.

Thanks KingBlingTX! Im gonna try that DIY sandwich for chaeto soon.
Regarding the AI prime, I think they're really good! How big is your tank by the way?

Super nice setup Kahlil! Man I'm jealous; time for me to start a new build! Awesome planning, it's obvious you thought this one through. Welcome btw!

Mine is a 10g IM Nuvo Fusion. It's a desktop nano, so I'm not running a sump or anything.
