And now, we wait. (ignore the zip ties)
60 gallon cube, Radion XR30 Gen 3 Pro, Aquamaxx Cone 1 skimmer, Vectra M1 return pump, VorTech MP40. Love me some EcoTech, obviously.

The "before swap" pic. I'll add a new FTS once I get things in place, lots of goodies just chilling in the sand bed to get used to the Radion.

Added a snails-only cleaner package from Reefcleaners (ceriths, nassarius, and nerites) to the tank last night along with mixed copepods & phyto from Algaebarn, plus another Vortech, MP10 to create better random flow. I felt like the MP40 alone was just swirling everything around. I have them running perpendicular to each other at the moment.
 
Tank is looking great! What is that brown frilly stuff tied to the rock?
 
Hiya! Quick update:

My 60 is doing pretty good but still not seeing much coralline, very little nuisance algae but the system may be a bit too sterile. I just got some copepods & phyto from AlgaeBarn and added some (dead/used) rock to the sump, going to add a grow light and some chaeto soon.

I'm currently reading about hatching brine shrimp (stupid easy; soda bottle and airline/pump) and feeding station (Paul B has some great articles/posts on this) so that's been my latest obsession. I may add such a system depending on the next fish I get. Also considering going skimmerless, I really don't feel like it's doing much other than taking up space.

Both B&W Occs are doing well, getting big and are still the only two fish in there.

Hope to see you guys soon. Pizza Nights haven't been fitting my schedule lately but I'm still here!
