North County Reefer Introduction and Feedback

Hi, I'm a North County reefer and have a 55 gallon glass reef tank with an acrylic sump. I am on a low budget and did as much DIY as I could. It's hard plumbed all the way around. I drilled the glass for the internal weir to the external overflow Box which has a bean animal style drain. I used a dremel routing bit open up the top and create the baffles as well as a table saw. I built the stand myself. I have a jebeo DC pump to a ball valve for easy water changes as well as a uv sterilizer with 2 dual union ball valves to control the flow through it. Then up to the tank to a random flow generator. I have a coralife skimmer and refugium in the sump. The tank is a couple months old with live rock, CUC, a few coral frags, a blenny and a few chromis. I love the hobby and if anyone has anything they don't need that would improve my tank, equipment or livestock please keep me in mind. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks for reading and happy reefing.

Welcome on board Cringer! Sounds like you got it pretty dialed in. Just don't forget to keep it fun. I'll keep you in mind if I have any collateral frags I don't need or cheapies you can have as testers. I'm like 10 minutes from ASD so not too far of a drive.

Cheers :)

Welcome...I have a green, hairy mushroom and I can break off a greenbirdsnest and purple stylo sps if you'd like (free). Be nice to develop North county offerings!
