Hi,
This tank is 1yr old but I've been doing salt for about 20yrs, maybe more.
This is the smallest tank I've done. Its in my garage and I live in Canada so I had to make sure it could handle the weather changes, 30+C in summer and -20C in winter. The garage is heated but no cooling in summer. All my coral are doing great and so are the fish.

Tank looks great! But 30°c+ yikes!! That’s 86°F. 33°C is just over 90°F. You will for sure need a fan on the tank... honestly that’s going to get the tank too hot and cause problems so please just be careful of the hot days and watch the tank!! You can buy the plastic freezable jugs and fill them with water, freeze them, and float them in the sump and watch the temp carefully in a pinch. Hope this helps! Happy reefing.
 
Welcome to R2R!!!! Your tank looks awesome. I assume since it has been up for a year you have figured out how to keep it cool in summer.
