I never thought I'd be posting in the nano forum

This addiction is unreal! We started with a 55g FOWLR, moved to 75g reef + 150g reef and now I've acquired a 34g Red Sea Max.
I picked it up on Saturday and LR, LS and water went in on 21st. I don't anticipate a cycle as everything came from existing systems and was fully cured.
Specs:
- RSM w/29g water volume in DT (34g total)
- Tunze 6025 powerhead (received it today)
- ~45lbs of LR
- 1 inch sandbed, fine sand
Tank came with ATO system which I haven't installed yet and an add-on fan.
So far ammonia/nitrate/nitrite is testing zero or undetectable,
ph is stable 8.3, temp 79-80, calcium 450, alk 9.3.
LR has a ton of Rhodactis' on them in different colors and some GSP.
Will post pictures later after I take some.

Hehe I need to clean the class and takes pics. Will do that tomorrow. I already got a slight diatom dusting the other day and yesterday and now there is already little specs of hair algae on the glass. No cycle at all. I did put 3 hermits and 2 snails in yesterday from another tank. Hehe I'm notoriously bad at taking pics.

I promise I will post them tonight. I've been coding like crazy today without a break and haven't even brought my camera upstairs yet.

Hottest tanks out right now man. Can't go wrong with the red sea. t5's, correct?
Yes T5's... Red Sea Max is head and shoulders better than any biocube... and for a lot of reasons - better filtration and built-in power strip are some of my primary reasons.
Spiderwoman - how much do you love that all those switches are built-in on the side? It's so clean!
