Not new but back into it

[wally431]

Well I use to have a bigger 65g tank years ago but ended up shutting down after moving. Now that I'm settled again I got a 45g JBJ tank that I really like the look of. Now that I have this I'm wanting a bigger tank already and it's only been a couple months.
So in the back of the jbj I've got a hydro slim skimmer, upgraded the twin return pumps to a single mag 7 split into two and a AI prime HD for light.
For livestock I've got 2 saddleback clowns for now some snails crabs a cleaner shrimp.
For corals I've got a huge Kenya tree and 3 separate chunks of Frogspawn with a total of about 40 heads.
I'm looking at getting some green chromis and maybe a wrasse, also I'd like to get a nem for the clowns. One of the rocks I got has a little chunk of pink birds nest on it which is coming back to life. Not sure if the AI prime will be enough for SPS corals but I'd like to try.

Figured I'd say hello and post a picture of my tank for everyone to see

Welcome back

Just picked up a 100g tank stand and sump for 150 bucks, it’s 48x24x19h. So I will slowly gets parts around for that. I’ve still got an ASM G1x skimmer that should work on that so I will need a return pump and lights

So the plan is to pick up an ASM G4 this next week. Getting it used for cheap so it'll do. Going to build a sump out of a 40g breeder tank with a fur and get the ecotech S1 for a return pump.
Going to start out with just some LPS coral then switch and make it a SPS dominant tank. So I will get a calcium reactor and ph controller before any sps corals go in.
As for lights I'm kinda on the fence still. I could just get some metal halide and t5s or go led not sure yet. I'm in the process of redoing the stand right now, painting it black to match the stand on the 45jbj.
Love having a salt tank again
