Following. Can’t wait to see how this turns out!

 

[aqua.reefer]

Appreciate it!! I’m taking my time and making sure i’m being deliberate on all my gear purchases.

 

[aqua.reefer]

As a new reefer I find there’s a lot of decisions to make as far as gear goes. I went with an AIO do to time restraints.

One of my first decisions to make was which return pump to go with.

After reading a ton, watching videos and paying attention to other reefers reviews. I went with the sicce syncra sdc 3.0

Caribsea live rock is in needless to say fedex doesn’t care about fragile labels!!

Any comments or recommendations on aquascape design?

 

[noobster]

How does the aquascape look from the side? if it's practically vertical, i would redo it so you would have more places to put corals. Think of where lighting would hit. Don't be afraid to chisel some of those rocks down to smaller pieces. But in the end, if you like what you have, go for it.

made some changes once i put in rank thanks noobster for recommendation

What are you going with for lighting? I had 2 XR-15s and then I just did a retrofit with a reefbrite. Much happier with it now as there’s so much less shadowing

 

[aqua.reefer]

i haven’t decide yet i think i’m going with AI primes

 

[aqua.reefer]

i was told not to add lights until the 4 month mark of tank being set up.

 

[aqua.reefer]
