I wanted a new system, more laid back than my actual.
Less light and circulation.
Fewer fishes.
My main goal is to be able to keep corals that I can't, in my main system.
Some setup info:
Total volume: aprox. 200 liters
Dimensions: 1,0 x 0,6 x 0,35 (meters).
Lightining: ???
Skimmer – Red Starfish DC-N-100
Return – Jebao EP-2000
Sandbed – 1cm of aragonite
Sansibar rocks + pacific rocks + natural rocks

Where's my anemone?
Exciting! What kind of coral are you going for?

I'm following this one for sure! Your other tank is amazing, so I have no doubt this one will be just as cool!

I want some meaty corals. Acanthophillya, Indophillya, Cynarina...
Besides that, I'll try to extract the most of gonioporas/alveoporas, torches, hammers and frogs.
I keep them in my actual system, but the high lighting and flow isn't exactly what they like.
Thanks!!
It already has some corals.

The sand bed was cycling in another tank for a month or two.
I took some siporax from my main system and the rocks are from my sump.
So, after 24 hours waiting for the dust settle down, I added some frags to see how they react. And they reacted very well.

The skimmer arrived yesterday.
It's already running.It's quiet and has a good construction, but it's too early to get over excited with it.
The return pump was delivered too.
It's also quiet, but I'm in doubt about the flow. Maybe I'll try something more powerful.
Let's see.

One week.
There's no much to show.
A lot of small frags, some gonis/alveos and some small plates from my tree.

I'm running the lights full blue.
It's something new to me, as I like to run it a lot whiter in my main tank.

No wrasses, so I'll try some unusual inverts.
PS.: I hope that it's only an exoskeleton molt.

Good news: It was only a molt.
Just saw this little fella on the rocks today.

This weekend I'll try to improve the rockscape. It's a little ....sad
News1: I got an Aurora goby, and now, the clown will go out
News2: I got a heater failure last night, and had to do some improvisation.

Turns out that my "Aurora" is an
Amblyeleotris yanoi, aka flagtail goby.
It's not a fish that we find here often.

Last week I got an Orange Spoted Goby (Amblyeleotris guttata).
I'm considering make this a "goby only" tank.
I am thinking about to have:
- S. nematodes
- A. randalli
- O. aurifrons
- A. wheeleri

I also want to put some inverts that my wrasses don't allow me to put in the big tank.

I did a big water change today. I'm trying to lower the PO4 level.
Two weeks ago it was 0.65 ppm.
I'm using the water that I take off from the big one.
