Hi everyone I’ve been out of the game for about half a year and I just couldn’t resist but told the GF that I wanted another tank. She shot it down at first but then last week when Waterbox had their blue Friday she ended up surprising me really really early Christmas gift. So now I’m either going to slowing get what I need or if anyone has ATO, Dry Rock, Test kits ETC let me know. This will be a mixed reef. I’m planning on Doing softies zoas palys nothing to crazy.

First chamber. Filtration wise I made my own media basket I plan on using filter floss, chemi pure elite and purigen. I’m hoping intank comes out with a media basket soon so I can get theirs.

Second chamber I’m going to either throw a skimmer or an HOB chateo reactor.

Third chamber is obviously return section I plan on getting the Cobalt Aquatics Mini MJ 606 hoping That will be enough flow. It’s rated for 159 GPH.

Here are some pictures of the setup so far.

Welcome aboard ;) She's a keeper
 
Thanks everyone I’m hoping to start the cycle soon. I’m waiting for Black Friday sales or cyber Monday before I pull the trigger on everything to get this bad boy going. As for fish best bet would probably be a goby and shrimp combo? Maybe 1 clown fish?? Or would that be to excessive for such a small tank?
 
Welcome to reef2reef. She is a keeper.
You have not mentioned the tank size (or i missed it?), I am assuming its around 10G, one clown should be ok.. but i would say its stretching. You can keep some other fish, like clown goby, blenny etc. You can run chemipure blue, and then you wont need the purigen. HoB filter based refugium is an awesome addition as well. Do you plan to grow LPS or SPS as well? if so, get a powerhead (like hydor pico). Looking forward to see your build :0-) . It wont be a bad idea to reseal the tank as well
