Well Im finally starting something that I’ve wanted to do for many years.
Nothing drawed up or blue printed this time but it’s definitely in my head. Now it’s time to see it become a reality. A very clean minimalist full sps peninsula of nothing but birds nest corals. So let the build begin.
The order has been place and packages on the way.

IM Nuvo 20g peninsula
AI Hydra 52 (Kinda sweet)
Fiji live rock from my old 120g tank algae free. Going to cure it for a solid month anyways just to be safe.
Some real small power heads nobody will notice.

A little back story:
I got out of the hobby a few years ago because of a controller failure that crashed my system. Never again! This one will be super simple and I’ll just have to do the stuff instead of the controller messing it up.

Pic’s coming soon so hope everyone enjoys.
Glad to be back!

Got to love the UPS man. Got my first order in yesterday. The IA Fusion 20g peninsula with the low iron is amazing. Kinda fills little though after down sizing from a 120g but im loving it so far. Once ive got it on the stand I post some pics.

My Live rock is still curing but I did pick up a few items at the LFS last night since they had a store wide 30% off sale.

Aquatic Life RODI 50gpd
CaribSea Special Grade Arag-Alive! w/real good expiration date

Also just placed the order for most of my stuff. so I should have everything in a few days. Kinda sucks having to order all new RO and test kits and stuff but guess youll have that.

Todays Order:
HMS FiftyTwo Bracket - Aqua Illumination
Hydra FiftyTwo HD LED (Black) - Aqua Illumination
Auqa Gadget CustomCaddy 20 Media Basket
X2 4” x 8” BRS Mesh Media Bag with Draw String
1/2 Gallon Bulk Premium ROX 0.8 Carbon - Bulk Reef Supply

Well test filled the tank with RODI last night and leveled the stand. Sorry forgot to take any pics. It turned out real nice but my TDS went from zero up to one after adding water to the tank lol. Guess the tank was dirty. Will have to say the included pump is load as crap so a new pump will be on order in just a few minutes for sure. I’ll just save the stock pump as a backup and water changes.

I’ll be sure to get some pics tonight with the tank on the stand. It look pretty sweet.
