Didn't realize how big my skimmer was. Only would fit in middle chamber. Sump upgrade in future!

Finally have my tank up and running. Next week adding cleaner crew and slowly adding my coral from old tank.
In process of aquascaping. Want two islands with branching overpass to connect. Might have some live rock for sale soon think I have too much. Have 100 in the tank now plus 100 in old tank

Even though I lost almost all my coral when u was in hospital. I checked my parameters and rechecked them and they are stable. So decided to add my fish and potentially shut down my 54 gal corner. Here in the bucket my female black onxy and male phantom clown along with their rainbow bubble tip

After losing all my coral I'm starting small. Here is a pic of my war coral and yasha goby. The yasha and pistol shrimp got separated during adding them. Hopefully they reunite. This is first time goby is out.

Looks great! Is that some type of shark/ray egg on the algae clip?
