Tank and Stand ready to go. Should have water in it tomorrow. Gonna run G6XR30’s blue with Reef Brites. I may add an XR15 in the center. Not sure on that one yet. Came with a Tunze skimmer. I wanted something very simple this time around and this one is perfect for what I’m looking for

Looking good for the back wall if you soak paper towels or regular towels in citric acid or vinegar and put towels on top of it. spray it with more with spray bottle or re wett it when dry, that alage or calcium stuff will go away pretty easily in a day or two.

slide your lights closer, you wont need a xr15 in middle. my suggestion, add another xr30, but thats just me.

I have a 15 just sitting here. I could sell it but wouldn't mind using it

I like the larger stand. Has space to place things on top that you use often.

You’re fine with the 2 lights for sure

Yeah pretty much figured they would be more than fine so Ive decided not to add the the 15.

Exactly why I went to a bit bigger. It can easily support the weight plus a lot more. Plus being in earthquake country I feel a bit better

So a little story on this current adventure. I had every intention on leaving the hobby. Got rid of my Red Sea and then a member of the club reached out to me about a IM35L he had. I wrestled with it but thought ok I'll keep things small. Tank is in good shape but the filtration was not. With the thought of ending my career soon I struggled with getting a really nice tank but the price tag was just too much. Saw DaddyHook's WaterBox and thought ok there is enough room to play with , not to big and best part is being simple and I don't have to stand on a step later to get into it.. So this plan with be sps surrounded by lps on the bottom.
