    It turned a week old today, ordering cuc next week. Still unsure about lighting, theres no where to put micro algae so a sump may be in the future. So good to be back in the reef game. Going to have a Randalls goby/shrimp mostly lps dominate. I see big things for this tiny tank :)

    Mp10, dialed to lowest setting in reef crest. Its blowing a thin layer off the top of the sb, just perfect. Lighting is the reef breeders value fixture im going to try at 50% and see if its too strong. Im loving this little tank :)

    Just the stock trickle filter the fluval comes with at the moment. Just running a sponge right now. Will be adding carbon and chemi pure after the first water change. Not going crazy on filtration like my last tanks, just going to focus on water changes until I make an overflow and small fuge for it later down the line.

    Oh my yes it does Matt. I figured I could play the games I love, and watch my tank all at the same time!
