Default my first marine tank, ten years in the making

After more than 10 years keeping freshwater, and almost just as long scuba diving, im now a diver and a reefer.

Tank is 2 by 1.5 by 1.5 feet

Original scape



Now



currently housing a true perc pair and a six-line wrasse.

Looking to add more inverts like cleaner shrimp, emerald crab, pom pom crab.

Fish wise, looking to add a flame angel.

thanks. used to dive 2 years once on average. its been 3 years since i last dived. getting my dive comp this weekend.

my yellow wrasse never seen him since i intro into tank. must be somewhere inside the sand. six-line wrasse however, very active, swims around and weaves in and out of the rocks.

Yes that's a dophin hob, and a bm nac qq.

Pump goes to my chiller, which isn't on (will only on during the heat wave middle of the year, corals including bubble doing fine) and then to my phosban 150 reactor which runs the rowa and then the return pump.

Pretty souped up tank I think for a sumpless tank. Haha

Max temp so far is 30. When it hits 30 I usually turn on the chiller for a while.
