    The scoop-

    Going very basic on this build. I am not running a skimmer (yet) or refugium/sump. Everything will be internal w/ likely nothing HOB.

    Just the basics so far- Heater, wave maker, and a single 250w 14k pulsright. Tank management will be done with live rock/sandbed and water changes. Top off with Kalkwasser. Might add a T-5ho or 2 to eliminate the center bar shadow.

    Just changed over from a 25 gallon nano-cube.

    Added a few damsels today. The wife and daughters were really wanting something to look at, and will be setting up my 150 basement tank as a FOWLR soon, so figured why not. Got 6 of them.

    Also, the tank is going through its mini cycle quick. I used all the rock, some sand and filter media from the nano 24 when I broke it down. Going through its diatom cycle at the moment.

    The nano cube had some red slime going....and of course transferred into the new tank, but added some chemi-clean. First time using it, but have heard about good results. Fingers crossed.
