Lookin good, nice scape.

another long-time freshwater fishkeeper here...love your scape. What kind of light is that?

 

[CStrickland]

Nice scape! Do you know what fish you'll get? I'm jealous of fowlr tanks sometimes, so many beautiful fish eat coral.

Welcome! I jumped over from keeping planted aquariums a few months ago.

Thanks everybody.

I'm using a current USA orbit marine LED light. I got it mounted on an aqua illumination rail which is really meant to mount much more expensive hydra LED lights (hey it works and elevates the light nicely away from the salt water).

As for fish, I'm planning on stocking with some clowns, some chromis, a raccoon butterfly, a coral beauty, and a yellow tang.

I was originally going to attempt to drill a hole in the tank for an overflow to a sump. I eventually decided that I didn't want to go through the trouble. I also didn't want a hob overflow. I guess that's why I went sumpless. Who knows though, maybe in the future if my fowlr is successful and my kids are a little older I will drill, add a sump, upgrade my lights, and upgrade to a reef tank.
