All of this was $1,500 shipped. I have zero experience with them but will be posting my experience with everything.

Hey Friends - I want to get some opinions on my stocking list for my tank. My tank is currently up and cycled and starting to establish a pod population.

It is an 8 foot, 24 inches wide and 20 inches deep. I have a built out 55g sump with a roller mat, skimmer, refugium and calcium reactor

Planning to go mainly SPS and Euphylia.

I’m moving from a 35g cube that I’ve had for a while now

Any opinions on my stocking list? Anything to add? Anything to take out?

First pic is of the tank and rock work.

Hey Friends - I’ve torn down my 200 gallon 8 foot freshwater tank and ready to start the process of setting it up as a reef. AND I WOULD LOVE YOUR ADVICE.

Few quick facts:

1. It has a 55g DIY sump that I’m going to change up.
2. Planning on a mixed reef
3. I’ve had a successful cube, setup for a little over a year now so diving head deep into a big tank. It runs off a single dose of all for reef.

So may ask for your opinions. How do I make this as simple and easy as possible??

I would love to stick with the all for reef single dosing. I’ve bought a mixing station. But any other advice is going to be appreciated.

In my head already is:

1. Take it very slow
2. Don’t over crowd and buy coral just because.
3. Keep it stable.

About a year into the hobby, bought a red sea nano max g2 xl cube last year. Liked it but not loved reefing. Last weekend I found a cheap Radion XR15 gen 4 for sale and BOOM. This thing is incredible.

My wife all the sudden has interest in the tank 😂

Both pics have the same orange lense and were taken during a more blue phase. First is the Radion, second is the stock Red Sea light. About a month apart with some coral moves..
