Its been a week, and no leaks. I'm going to drain and clean the tank. Going to Lowes to pick up some Black paint, and paint the back black. Will post pics when done

Got some goodies in yesterday. In getting excited

AquaticLife 75gph twist RODI I wanted 100gph but it was Out Of Stock everywhere.

Bubble-Mangus Curve 5 made this purchase based of reviews and the footprint of the skimmer

Triton Refugium Kit got this to create DIY Sump with 29g Aqueon tank will post pics when done.

Have more gear coming......

Looking good. So, what does our livestock list look like? Curious how you are going to stock it.
Im going to start with a couple of clowns. I want a couple Royal Grammies, Coral Beauty, Yellow Tang, and I know I want a Mandarinfish one day. I want a mixed reef, but Im going to start with the easy corals Leather, mushrooms, Zoas.... Just going to take it slow.
