Yeh the tank is up again. Trying to keep it minimal this time. FOWLR with easy corals.

2x fluval fluval sky LED
3 smatfarm 140w
RSK600
coralife 18x 36w UV
2x icecap 4k gyre pump
Top fully covered with several glass panels to prevent evaporation

Fish only require salinity 1.020-1.025. Emptied two buckets of 160g IO salt and the salinity is at 1.023. I'll.keep it at that level for now.

I need more rocks and easy corals.

Keep an eye on those fluffy meaty corals. Angels love those. It’s a try and see type deal.

Added a goni, torch, hammer, some other corals and they're still alive.

@Johnsonlwu label his angels as domesticated.

Only the pectinia get knock around.
