    • Water tests completed, and the numbers look good.
    • The 265g poly tank was cleaned out again, and refilled
      with RO/DI water to mix up new saltwater.

    After getting settled in to the new house I decided on the perfect space for me next reef. While wanting to take a little more time off, I just couldn't help thinking of how great my next reef would be.
