Just wanted introduce myself to everyone. I have a Innovative Marine 16 Gallon reef tank with Apex Neptune controller, tunze auto top off, Vortech MP10W with Radion Gen2, Innovative Marine Protein Skimmer, and UV. I'm currently running carbon, and gfo with filter floss. I've had the system up for only 7 months, and this is my first saltwater tank. Here are some pics of my tank.

I really like the colors of the sps, but I'm thinking of trying out a couple of sps as well.
 
just make sure all your levels are good for SPS as they are live animals and we try to make sure they stay healthy and living.! reminder ALK swings and Salt level swings are a no no with any coral but very bad as well for SPS.
 
I've been doing weekly water changes with recently having to add calcium once a week to keep at 420 levels. Saltwater level is always at 1.025 with auto top off. Only other addition is magnesium once a week as I'm keeping this at 1350. All other levels are great. I travel all week and I'm just waiting for my afs from neptune to come in tomorrow as when I'm out of town the tank gets a little over fed. I've been using red sea energy, and I'm starting to get great growth as well.
